Caitlin Clark continues to break records in her rookie WNBA season, this time setting the record for most assists in a single season by a rookie ¹. She achieved this feat in the Indiana Fever’s win over the Seattle Storm, where she posted 23 points and nine assists. This record was previously held by Ticha Penicheiro and had stood since 1998.
In addition to breaking the rookie assist record, Clark also set a new franchise record for the most three-pointers made by a rookie, surpassing Tamika Catchings’ previous mark ¹. Her performance against the Storm highlighted her all-around game, as she combined her scoring ability with effective playmaking to lift the Fever to another crucial win.
The Fever’s victory over the Storm marked their second consecutive win since the WNBA resumed play after the Summer Olympics in Paris ¹. Clark’s presence on the court has not only contributed to the Fever’s recent success but has also driven record viewership numbers for the league. Her games consistently top viewership charts, with the Fever-Storm game alone seeing a peak of 2.9 million viewers.
