Clark, 22, dominated in all areas of the court as the Fever inflicted just their fourth loss of the season on the Liberty.
The WNBA’s No. 1 pick had 19 points, 13 assists and a season-high 12 rebounds.
She is now the first rookie in league history to record a triple-double, for ESPN.

His triple-double was also the first in Fever history since their formation in 2000.
“Obviously, it’s cool,” a modest Clark said after the game.
“My teammates are finishing the ball [at a] very, very high rate.
“My assist numbers are because of them.”
“It’s crazy to think she’s only halfway through her rookie year. The future is going to be crazy!” gasped a fan on X.
“I’m pretty sure $77,000 a year is a crime at this point,” said another, referring to Clark’s contract.
“That’s a GOAT,” commented a third.
“I haven’t watched basketball in 20 years, but I love watching this young lady play! She is tough and has an amazing attitude,” said a fourth.
Clark is locked in a battle for the Rookie of the Year award with rival Angel Reese, who is currently enjoying a 12-game winning streak.
Saturday’s comeback victory improved the Fever to 9-13 on the WNBA season.
Indiana rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter and outscored New York 41-31.
“I’m really happy we won,” Clark continued.
“I am very proud to be able to do many different things for this team.
“I think we’re really good when I can get the ball off the glass and just transition and find my teammates and set them up.
“We’re definitely playing good basketball. We play better together.
“But I think the biggest difference for us has been when teams run and we don’t fall apart. We always believe we’re in the games.”
