Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark recalls Seimone Augustus being the first WNBA player she ever met when she went to a Minnesota Lynx game as a child.

On Sunday, Clark set the WNBA rookie season scoring record, previously held by Augustus, and called it a full-circle moment. «I got my picture with her on my dad's little phone — it was maybe like a Blackberry back in the day,» Clark said after Indiana's 110-109 win over Dallas. «I vividly remember it.

I was always a fan of her game and the way she could shoot the ball.» Clark now has 761 points in 39 games, so there is the caveat that Augustus — who will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in October — set her mark of 744 points in 2006, when the WNBA season was 34 games.

Regardless, it was a big afternoon for Clark, who had a career-high 35 points, and the Fever, who secured the No. 6 seed in the playoffs.
