Aliyah Caitlin Clark couldn’t be humbled by Boston following her triple-double.

Aliyah Boston wasn’t going to allow Caitlin Clark to act all modest and subdued.

Boston made sure to celebrate Clark after she became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double, even though Clark prefers to give credit to her teammates rather than ask for individual recognition and accolades.

Clark’s most recent record-breaking performance was during a memorable 83-78 comeback victory against the New York Liberty, the top club in the WNBA.
The particular background of the rookie Fever guard enthralled spectators both within Gainbridge Fieldhouse and online.

Boston was likewise fired up about it. Boston chimed in to offer her perspective on the achievement as Clark was answering a question about how much more achievement it adds to being the first Fever player to record a triple-double given that the team also won the game.

She really is modest, isn’t she? Caitlin, let me tell you, that’s quite awesome. Fantastic work, sister,” remarked Boston.

Clark responded to becoming the first player in Fever history to record a triple-double before Boston spoke up.

All I can say is that I’m glad we prevailed. As I’ve already stated, I’m really proud of my ability to perform a wide range of tasks for this team. My dream is to be able toWhen I can get the ball off the glass, simply go into transition, find my teammates, and put them up, I believe we’re extremely good. With 13 assists, it goes without saying that my teammates made 13 shots off of my passes, so props to them,” Clark remarked.
When asked what her reaction was to being the first WNBA rookie to record a triple-double, Clark cited earlier in the press conference how good her teammates have been finishing off her passes.

It’s obviously pretty awesome. My guys have been finishing the ball pretty quickly, I mean, really quickly. My numbers for assists. It is as a result of them. Just putting them in situations where they can succeed, whether it’s Lyss or AB. We did a pretty excellent job at it, in my opinion. However, I suppose it’s cool,” Clark remarked.

Clark’s teams are currently 18-0 in games where she records a triple-double going back to her tenure at Iowa.

Clark shot 7 of 17 from the field and 3 of 12 from 3-point range to end with 19 points, 13 assists, 12 rebounds, and two steals.

The Washington Mystics will be the Fever’s opponent when they play again on Wednesday, July 10. The game takes off at 11 a.m. CT on NBA TV.
