Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark recorded her second triple-double this season in their 93-86 victory over the LA Sparks at home on Wednesday and fans were once again left in awe of her generational talent. They quickly took to social media to share their thoughts on her latest feat.

The No. 1 overall pick in this year's WNBA draft shared game-high scoring honors with Aliyah Boston (24 points) to tow the now-playoff-bound Indiana Fever (18-16) to their fifth straight victory. She also registered 10 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 40 minutes of play.

Fans went away impressed with Caitlin Clark's second triple-double of the season. Here's a look at some of the fan reactions on X/Twitter:

"Undisputed GOAT"
"Best WNBA player ever," another fan chimed in.
"She is HER!" one fan said.

Unsurprisingly, most of the comments circled around her battle with fellow rookie Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky in the standings as the best rookie player this season:

"Clark a better rebounder than Reese and she's a point guard," one comment read.
"Betta than Reese," another fan said.
"Someone tell @Reese10Angel, this is how you play basketball," one fan added.

Other fans were ready to crown Caitlin Clark as the Rookie of the Year, and maybe even MVP:

"Not good enough for ROY. Should be in MVP voting," a fan said.

Caitlin Clark recorded her first triple-double in their 83-78 victory over the New York Liberty on July 6, finishing with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds, to become the first rookie in WNBA history to record a TD.

Caitlin Clark happy to get another triple-double but emphasizes need for Fever to continue improving

While Clark was happy to notch her second triple-double in her young WNBA career on Wednesday, she emphasized that getting the win and seeing the Indiana Fever continue to improve was more important to her.

The rookie sensation grabbed her 10th rebound in the dying seconds of their 93-86 win over the LA Sparks to secure the triple-double. She admitted that while it may seem she stat-padded, it was part of what they were trying to accomplish during the game.

Clark said (via Athlon Sports):

"Of course, I knew [I was one rebound away from a triple-double]. Honestly, we were just trying to get stops. I thought our defense got a lot better there at the end of the game," Clark told CBS Sports Network. "But we need to find a way to be consistent there for four quarters. Proud of our groop. We find a way to get it done. But somebody had to get the rebound."

The win improved Indiana to 18-16, currently enough for sixth place in the overall WNBA standings and enough to ensure their playoff spot.
