Less than a week after returning to WNBA action, Caitlin Clark is already making her opponents beg for mercy and breaking more records. The one she broke was standing strong for 26 years, which was broken on Sunday.

Clark is now the new record holder for the most assists in a season by a WNBA rookie, a record originally held by Ticha Penicheiro. Penicheiro had 224 assists in a season, but with nine assists against the Seattle Storm, Clark surpassed her with 232 assists.

This record was bound to be broken when the 22-year-old realized she was averaging 8.3 assists per game this season. Not only is she leading rookies in assists per game, but the same goes for non-rookies and veterans.

She’s been breaking records all season, but most recently, besides this one, she recorded 19 assists in a game against the Dallas Wings. This took place in the middle of July.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a Monday, Wednesday, or even a Sunday; Caitlin Clark is always balling out and breaking records. It was no different against the Dallas Wings.

Despite the Indiana Fever losing 101-93 in an away game, Clark did the unthinkable and recorded a historic 19 assists. Not only is that a career-high for the 22-year-old, but she is now the record holder for the WNBA’s single-game assists.

That record included veterans, but what about rookies? She passed that record after notching her 17th assist, officially passing Tina Penicheiro when she set it back in 1998.

Plus, as she set more records, Clark is the Fever’s single-season franchise assist record holder with 202. Friendly reminder that she’s only played in 26 games.

Alyssa Thomas, who set the record last season, has it standing at 316 assists. Indiana has 14 games left to play after their All-Star break, but will it be enough time for Clark to match it or completely shatter the record? Only time will tell.

What this outstanding rookie is doing and has done is beyond incredible. Many have her as the leading favorite to win this year’s Rookie of the Year.

The former Iowa Hawkeyes guard continues adding herself to history books and picking up hardware. This time during the 2024 ESPY’s.

Caitlin Clark was recognized and won two major awards. The first one was for the best record-breaking performance, as that was based on her setting the Division I career scoring mark in both men’s and women’s basketball. It was 3,951 points to be exact.

The second one was being recognized as the best women’s college athlete, which is no shock knowing how Clark averaged 31.6 points, 8.9 assists, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game in her last season with Iowa.

While she wasn’t in attendance to accept the awards due to her upcoming game against the Phoenix Mercury, the 22-year-old did accept them virtually.

“I just wanted to say thank you for this recognition. Obviously, I could not be there tonight. I’m a little bit busy in Indianapolis.”
