Caitlin Clark breaks WNBA single-season assists record


Caitlin Clark has done it again.

The Indiana Fever rookie sensation broke the WNBA single-season attendance record with the 317th of her rookie season on Friday against the Las Vegas Aces.

Clark was on the other side of the issue as she watched a season-high fall in the last meeting between the two teams just two days ago. On Wednesday, Aces veteran A'ja Wilson broke the league's single-season scoring record with 956 points during an 86-75 win in Las Vegas.

Before that, rookie Angel Reese broke the WNBA single-season rebounding record. Reese broke that record in the Chicago Sky's 79-74 loss to Minnesota on Sept. 1, when she surpassed Sylvia Fowles' record of 404 set in 2018.

But Clark regained the spotlight on Friday night.

Last Friday against the Minnesota Lynx, Clark hit her 103rd 3-pointer of the season, moving into first place on the Fever's all-time list for 3-pointers made in a single season.

Just days earlier, he had hit his 100th three-pointer of the season when the Fever hosted the Los Angeles Sparks, reaching the milestone faster than any player in league history.

She also became the first rookie and the fifth WNBA player to record more than one triple-double in a season. The recently retired Candace ParkerAlong with Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu and Alyssa Thomas are the other players in the exclusive club.

A week before that, against the Dallas Wings, Clark scored her 595th career point, surpassing WNBA legend Tamika Catchings for the most in a single season by a rookie in History of fever.

In her final game against Reese and the Sky on Aug. 30, Clark had the first 30-point, 12-assist game in WNBA history and became just the fifth player, and first rookie, to record at least 30 points and 10 assists in a game. On top of that, Clark now has 12 double-doubles, which breaks the WNBA record for most double-doubles by a point guard in a single season.

That same night, Clark also became the first WNBA player to score at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in six consecutive WNBA games. It was her 10th consecutive game with at least 15 points and five rebounds, putting her in the elite club alongside Diana Taurasi.

Clark has led the Fever to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
