Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is on a mission to prove herself as the best player in the WNBA. Unfortunately for Clark, the Fever have struggled to this point in the season, dropping to 6-7 on the campaign after a loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday afternoon.
Unfortunately for Clark, with things going poorly for the Fever at the moment as they drop in the standings, now, Clark may also be losing her personal standing as the best young player in the league.
“Paige Bueckers is the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 PTS & 50 AST,” reported Polymarket Hoops on Twitter.
Fans reacted to the news that Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers is on a path to past Clark in all-time talks.
“She played 37 more minutes than Clark in her first 11 games, thus the more points. But rebounds and assists are still CC,” one fan wrote on Twitter to try and add more context to the statistics.
“Congratulations Paige, thanks for making the WNBA a little better. Great season so far , please stay healthy in a semi-violent league of jealousy and hate,” another fan added.
“Love Paige she’s one of the best basketball players I’ve ever seen male or female she’s better (than Caitlin Clark),” someone else added.
It’ll be interesting to see which of the young stars manages to win a WNBA title first.
