Indianapolis, Indiana – Caitlin Clark’s inaugural season in the WNBA is rewriting the record books, leaving a lasting mark on the league’s history. The Indiana Fever guard recently broke the record for single-season assists, surpassing the previous mark set by Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun.
In a game against the Las Vegas Aces, Clark notched her 317th assist of the season with a pass to teammate Kelsey Mitchell, solidifying her place in WNBA history. This achievement comes after already setting the record for single-game assists with 19 in a previous matchup against the Dallas Wings. Despite a slow start to the season, Clark has quickly proven herself to be a game-changing talent, transitioning seamlessly from college basketball at Iowa to the professional level.
In addition to her assist records, Clark is also approaching the WNBA’s single-season 3-point record, with 112 3-pointers so far this season. With only three games remaining, she is within striking distance of Sabrina Ionescu’s record of 128. Clark’s impressive performance on the court has not gone unnoticed, as she is now the favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors, leading the Indiana Fever to their first playoff berth since 2016.
Although Clark has set some turnover records along the way, her impact on the team’s success is undeniable. Despite breaking the all-time record for turnovers in a season, she has been a key player in securing a playoff spot for the Fever. As the season comes to a close, all eyes are on Clark as she continues to make history and redefine what it means to be a standout rookie in the WNBA.
