Caitlin Clark with angry emojis around her

The Indiana Fever picked up an 81-74 win over the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday, and although Caitlin Clark has impressed this season, she did make some negative history with her 139th turnover, which is the new record for the most turnovers in a single season in WNBA history, according to Myron Medcalf of ESPN.

Clark did not have the most efficient game, scoring 17 points on 5-of-17 shooting and 2-for-11 from three. She did add six assists, and she passed Sue Bird for the most assists in a season by a rookie, which is a positive for Caitlin Clark.

In the win for the Fever, Caitlin Clark did turn over the ball six times. She is tasked with running the show for Indiana in her rookie season, and teams guard here essentially from the inbound because she has great range and can hit threes from the logo. It is understandable that her turnover count is high, but setting the single-season record for turnovers was not something she had in mind, and is undoubtedly something that she will want to improve on as she gets older.
Clark has figured some things out and has gotten better throughout her rookie season with the Fever, which is really encouraging. To many, it is viewed as a matter of time until she figures out how to play at her best at the WNBA level. It will be interesting to see how she fares the rest of the season, especially after the break for the Olympics, because she essentially has been playing all out since the start of last college basketball season.
