Caitlin Clark Breaks WNBA Rookie Assist Record


Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark broke the WNBA record for assists by a rookie in a single season during a Sunday game against Seattle Storm.

The Iowa-hailing player surpassed the record previously held by Ticha Penicheiro, who had 225 assists in 1998 while playing for the Sacramento Monarchs. Clark has already made headlines for setting records in her first year going pro, achieving the most assists in a single game (19, in a game against the Dallas Wings) and becoming the first rookie to earn a triple-double, which is when a player garners double-digit scores in the three categories of points, rebounds and assists — both feats logged last month. Alongside Chicago Sky Forward Angel Reese, Clark will be featured in the next NBA 2K video game edition, releasing Sept. 6.
