After registering the first-ever rookie triple-double in WNBA history on Saturday night, Caitlin Clark was the talk of the team in the Indiana Fever locker room.
Her amazing on-court performance against the Phoenix Mercury solidified her title as Rookie of the Year, and her teammates showered her with congratulations (and water!) following the game
In a fantastic scene that was caught on camera, Clark receives praise from her head coach before her loving coworkers showered her with water.
Christie Sides can be heard remarking, “This is the first time in franchise history for a rookie to get a triple-double,” before indicating to Clark, who was seated next to her.
To Clark’s amazement, the squad rushed over to her and emptied their water bottles over her head, setting off joyful celebrations.

The internet fell even more in love with Clark as she responded by praising the entire team rather than claiming all the glory for herself.
“Excellent work, everyone,” the 22-year-old is heard exclaiming.
Supporters praised the “humble” response on social media very immediately, with one fan writing: “Doesn’t like to draw attention to herself in intimate moments or in the locker room.”
“On the court, Caitlin Clark demonstrates her true self as a team player and person. Congratulations, Caitlin Clark; you are truly exceptional.”
“Of course she gives a team shoutout bc she’s the most humble player in the WNBA,” someone else commented.
Clark scored 19 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and dished out 13 assists in the team’s 83-78 victory over the New York Liberty.
The No. 1 choice in the WNBA draft almost avoided a triple-double in a road victory over the Phoenix Mercury two games prior, falling short by one rebound.
In the first quarter, Clark scored 11 points, hitting three of his four three-point attempts. In the third quarter, she had more assists than double figures, and in the fourth, she had more than ten rebounds.
