CNN —Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has become the first rookie in 16 years to be named to the All-WNBA first team. The guard was already named the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year in a near-unanimous vote earlier this month, a fitting title for an astonishing season. Clark also became the first ever rookie to record a triple-double and holds the record for most three-pointers made (122) by a rookie in league history. Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson has also been named in the All-WNBA first team. Las Vegas Aces star Wilson, meanwhile, earned her unanimous place on the first team after a historic season.

CNN —The New York Liberty solidified their spot at the top of the WNBA standings with a 79-71 home win over the Dallas Wings at the Barclays Center on Thursday. The result made it eight victories in a row for the Liberty, who currently sit atop the Eastern Conference with a league-best 25-4 record, the team’s best start through 29 games in franchise history. The Liberty only shot 35.1% from the field as a team but still had four players score in double figures. It was a morale boosting win for New York, which became the first team to clinch a postseason berth on Saturday. The defeat moves the Wings to 6-22, tied for the worst record in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks and Washington Mystics.

University of Connecticut star Paige Bueckers will sign a name, image and likeness deal with the new women's basketball league Unrivaled, people familiar with the matter told CNBC. Unrivaled was founded last year by Women's National Basketball Association players Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty and Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx. In February, Bueckers announced she would forgo the 2024 WNBA Draft to return to UConn for her senior season. Unrivaled was started as a way to allow WNBA basketball players the option to play in the U.S. during their offseason. Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky was the first player from this year's WNBA rookie class to join the league.

☆ Angel Reese becomes first rookie in WNBA history to record seven straight double-doubles

CNN —Angel Reese set a new WNBA record by becoming the first rookie in history to record seven consecutive double-doubles. Only two-time MVP A’ja Wilson is averaging more rebounds per game than Reese. It was a comfortable wire-to-wire win for the Sky, who led by as much as 22 points in the third quarter. The Wings made a run to close the gap to nine points in the fourth but never looked like getting within striking distance. Marina Mabrey and Chennedy Carter finished with a team-high 19 points each for the Sky, while rookie Kamilla Cardoso finished a point shy of a double-double with nine points and 11 rebounds.

___The generational shift at quarterback in the NFL reached a new milestone last week. This was the first time since Week 6 of the 2002 season that no quarterback born in the 1980s took the field. That raised the total of rookie starting QBs this season to nine, tying the non-replacement record set in 2019. The youth movement at quarterback has played a role in the struggles on offense across the league in the first half of the season, with scoring at its lowest mark through nine weeks since 2007. NEW YUCK, NEW YUCKThe performance so far this season for the New York teams has been rather offensive.

☆ No kicker? No problem: RB Ogunbowale kicks field goal in Texans' win

Nov 5, 2023; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale (33) kicks a field goal during the fourth quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at NRG Stadium. The Texans' strategy was sent into disarray when kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn suffered an injury and was unable to compete in the second half, forcing Ogunbowale to assume place-kicking duties for the home team. With the game tied at 30-30 in the fourth quarter, Ogunbowale stepped up to take his shot and sent a 29-yard field goal through, prompting special teams coordinator Frank Ross to run on to the field as the Texans sideline erupted in celebration. For him to be able to kickoff as many times as he did... and also for him to kick the field goal -- we were confident he could make it from there and he proved us right. "It's a big-time win for us," said Stroud, as the Texans improved their record to 4-4.
