Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history again after Indiana Fever’s win over Atlanta Dream

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark just rewrote the record books for about the fiftieth time this WNBA season. Caitlin Clark is completely rewriting what people thought was possible in the WNBA, making record-breaking look almost routine.

Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history again after Indiana Fever’s win over Atlanta Dream

In a recent WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream, star player Caitlin Clark shattered yet another record. This marks the fifty-fifth time this season that Clark has rewritten the record books in the WNBA. Clark set a record by achieving five consecutive games with 20-plus points and five-plus assists, while also becoming the swiftest player in league history to reach 600 career assists. Moreover, she surpassed Sue Bird's record for guards with the most double-doubles in history.

What makes Clark's performance even more remarkable is her ability to outperform expectations despite facing relentless defensive pressure. During the Indiana Fever's win against the Atlanta Dream, a post-game announcement on the Fever's official X account highlighted Clark's achievement as the only player in WNBA history to average 26+ points and 9+ assists over an 11-game span.

Currently, she is averaging 26.3 points per game, 9.4 assists per game, 3.5 rebounds per game, and 1.3 steals per game in her first 31 games of the 2026 WNBA season. This puts her on track to achieve several major milestones.

Clark has recently become the fastest player in both WNBA and NBA history to reach 700 career assists, and she is nearing Diana Taurasi's record for the most career games with at least 25 points, five three-pointers, and five assists. If she maintains her current assist rate, Clark is poised to break her own single-season WNBA assist average record.
