Clark had a career-high 35 points against the Dallas Wings as she broke the WNBA mark for most points scored by a rookie in a single season with 761 points. Seimone Augustus set the bar 18 years ago when she scored 744 points in her first season with the Minnesota Lynx. Clark was 10 of 22 from the field with six 3-pointers. She broke the rookie record on a 3-pointer and contributed eight assists and three steals. She would end the season with 769 total points on the season.
More context: It's worth noting the WNBA now has 40-game regular seasons, so Clark has six more games than Augustus did when she set the record. At the same time, Augustus had six more games than Cynthia Cooper-Dyke did in 1997, when she set the original mark. But then, because the WNBA didn't start until 1997, Cooper-Dyke was 34 as a rookie and had already been playing professionally for a decade.
