Clark, the Indiana Fever rookie, set the record for most assists by a rookie in the All-Star Game. She finished with 10 assists, breaking Shoni Schimmel’s mark of eight in 2014. Clark was one away from tying Sue Bird’s single-game mark with 11.
One of Clark’s assists went to Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese as fans got the moment between the two competitors everyone had hoped for.
Reese had a solid game as well, naturally recording a double-double. She was the first rookie to have a double-double in the All-Star Game. Reese had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
