WNBA rookie enters Caitlin Clark territory after big game
Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles is emerging as the early Rookie of the Year frontrunner after matching a Caitlin Clark milestone.
The 23-year-old became the fourth player in WNBA history to average 15 points, five rebounds and five assists through seven career games.
She joins Clark, WNBA legend Candace Parker and New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu in that exclusive group.
ESPN Insights shared the milestone on X following Minnesota’s 96-81 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday. Miles finished with 16 points, eight assists and five rebounds in 34 minutes. The performance helped push the Lynx to a 5-2 start to the 2026 season.

Olivia Miles could be a cornerstone for the Minnesota Lynx
Miles has exceeded expectations at every turn since arriving in Minnesota.
The former Notre Dame and TCU star was selected second overall in the 2026 WNBA Draft behind Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd. She has been a revelation for the veteran Lynx squad, delivering immediate impact from the opening tip.
Miles has held things down admirably with star center Napheesa Collier sidelined by an ankle injury. She has also formed a strong partnership with forward Natasha Howard.
The rookie guard is averaging 15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game through seven games. She is shooting 47.5 percent from the field and leads Minnesota in assists.
Miles has scored in double figures in all seven games this season. She also tied Clark as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 points and 40 assists to begin a career.
At this pace, Miles could very well follow in the footsteps as the 2026 WNBA Rookie of the Year.
