42 Games Into Her WNBA Career, Caitlin Clark Has Made History Again

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is just a few games into her second season in the WNBA. She also now holds the league record for most career games with 25 points and 10 assists.

Clark dropped 27 points and 11 assists on the Atlanta Dream last week as the Fever lost 90-91. That was her sixth career game with at least 25 points and 10 assists, out of 42 total games played. She passed New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, who is playing her sixth season in the WNBA, for the record.

Clark makes it look easy. But in the time between her first 25/10 game and her sixth, only one other WNBA player logged even one: Odyssey Sims, who logged 26 points and 10 assists for the Los Angeles Sparks against the Dallas Wings last season.

It’s not the first record Clark has broken, and it won’t be the last. She also set a record with 42 consecutive games with a three-pointer made to begin her career, which finally ended as the Fever played the Dream a second time. Clark went 0 for 5 from three-point range, ending with 11 points.

But, as Clark has made clear, she’s focusing on improving as a player and winning, not on records. And the Fever were able to pull through on the back of a huge 26-point game from veteran Natasha Howard, bringing them up to 2-1 on the season.

With 43 games into her career, you can be fairly sure that watching Clark, she’ll set many records that may never be broken. It only feels like a matter of time.
