INDIANA FEVER NEW YORK LIBERTYWNBA
The Indiana Fever beat the first place New York Liberty on Saturday by a score of 83-78, adding fuel to the fire for Caitlin Clark’s WNBA Rookie Of The Year campaign.
Clark recorded the first ever triple-double by a rookie in WNBA history with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds, a historic performance that came with a hilarious quip on Instagram from her teammate Katie Lou Samuelson.
Samuelson, who has a daughter named Aliya, just one letter off from her teammate and former WNBA Rookie Of The Year Aliyah Boston’s name, had a hilarious request for her famous sharp-shooting teammate after the big W.
“I know you got a triple-double, but can you babysit after this?” Samuelson hilariously captioned her Instagram story post with a picture of her and Clark embracing near halfcourt.
“Elite babysitter,” Clark replied, tongue-in-cheek.
Samuelson had five points in 26 minutes, supporting Clark and the Fever with her defense on the Liberty’s talented frontline of Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones among others.
Her daughter Aliya, whom she had with husband and NBA G-Leaguer Kevin Cannady of the Birmingham Squadron, has her own Instagram page as shown below.
Next up for Clark, Samuelson and the Fever is a clash with the last-place Washington Mystics on Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET, another chance for Clark to continue her assault on the record books and to further position herself as a worthy WNBA Rookie Of The Year Candidate alongside Angel Reese.
