Fever's Caitlin Clark Takes Down Another WNBA Record

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is off to the best start of her pro career, and everyone is taking notice.

Despite a 90-88 loss to the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday, Clark put forth a memorable performance. The former 24-year-old guard tallied 16 points, six assists, four rebounds, three steals, and a block - and she wrote her name in the WNBA record books in the process.

"1-of-1 🤩📚 Caitlin Clark is the fastest player in WNBA history to record 1,000 points and 500 assists by 23 games," the Fever posted on X.

"Caitlin Clark through 59 career @WNBA games: ✔️ fastest to 1,000 points & 500 assists ✔️ most 20+ PTS & 10+ AST games ever ✔️ most 25+ PTS & 10+ AST games ever ✔️ most 30+ PTS & 10+ AST games ever," the team wrote in a follow-up post.

A two-time All-Star, an All-WNBA first team selection, and former Rookie of the Year, Clark already has several other WNBA records under her belt including single-season points by rookie (769), single-season assists (337), single-game assists (19), single-season 3-pointers by a rookie (122), single-game 3-pointers by a rookie (seven), triple-doubles by a rookie (two), and most All-Star fan votes (1,293,526).

Clark also holds several Fever franchise records including single-season points, single-game points (35), single-season 3-pointers, and career double-doubles (14).

The former No. 1 overall pick was limited to just 13 games last year while battling a quad and two separate groin strains. Her durability has been an issue for the Fever this season too, as she's currently nursing a minor back injury.

Despite her medical issues, Clark is off to a record start to the season. She leads the league in assists (8.5 per game), and he ranks third in scoring (22.5 Points per game) behind only Kelsey Plum (26.8 points per game) and A'ja Wilson (24.3 points per game), and third in made 3-pointers per game (3.0 per game).
