Indiana rookie Caitlin Clark broke the WNBA record for assists in a game Wednesday night, finishing with 19 in the Fever’s 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings.
“I just try to set my teammates up for success,” Clark said. “I think at times I can almost overpass.”
The previous record was 18 by Courtney Vandersloot for Chicago on 31 August 2020. Vandersloot also had 18 in a playoff game on 28 September 2021.
And the league’s previous record for assists by a rookie was 16, set by Ticha Penicheiro for Sacramento on 29 July 1998.
The record-breaker for Clark came on a play where she set up Kelsey Mitchell for a three-pointer with 2:22 remaining. That tied it at 93, but Dallas closed with an 8-0 run that included a turnover by Clark with the Fever trailing by four with 36 seconds left.
Clark entered the game as the WNBA’s assists-per-game leader this season. She added 24 points on 10-for-19 shooting.
