Caitlin Clark entered the WNBA with all the elite expectations of an NCAA record holder and generational talent. While it hasn’t all been easy for the former Iowa star, she continues to snap records across her rookie season with the Indiana Fever.
During Wednesday night’s game against the Dallas Wings, Clark toppled the single-game mark assists record with an elite 19 assists. She rounded out her double-double with 24 points and 6 rebounds despite the Fever falling to the Wings 101-93.
The 19 assists snapped the former WNBA single-game record of 18 assists set by Courtney Vandersloot. Here is every assist from the record-breaking performance:

That wasn’t the only standout number of Clark’s game. In the process, she became the fastest player in league history to surpass 400 points and 200 assists. Clark reached those numbers in 26 games, surpassing Sue Bird who reached those numbers in 33 career games.
Clark also shattered a franchise record for the Fever. She already holds Indiana’s single-season assists mark with 202 on the season.

While there has been talk that the Rookie of the Year race between Clark and Angel Reese is closer than it appears, Clark’s odds have only increased. She is the runaway favorite to win the award at -2000 via ESPN Bet.
Clark’s impact is also felt in the WNBA MVP odds. While she is unquestionably a long shot at +7500, she holds the 5th-best odds in the entire league with A’ja Wilson the heavy favorite at -4000. (Be sure to track the latest odds with Tradition’s Ohio betting apps.)
It has always been unlikely for Clark to win an MVP award as a rookie. But considering the impact she has made on the Fever, it’s not surprising to see her name mentioned in the conversation as one of the true stars in the WNBA.
