Wild Caitlin Clark stat will blow your mind

The standout rookie guard delivered a career-high 31 points, shooting 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and an impressive 10-for-11 from the free-throw line. However, it was her playmaking that truly stole the show. Clark dished out 12 assists, marking her 11th double-double of the season and surpassing WNBA legend Ticha Penicheiro for the most games by a rookie with at least 10 assists — nine in total. This latest achievement places Clark in extraordinary territory, but it’s her overall assist numbers that might just blow your mind.

With her 12 assists against the Sky, Clark’s season total reached 264, achieved in just 32 games. According to StatMamba, this number ranks higher than 78.9% of all players in WNBA history, an astounding feat for a rookie. Clark’s recent performance not only highlights her exceptional playmaking skills but also underscores her growing influence on the court.

Caitlin Clark’s historic rookie season with the Fever poised to shatter WNBA records

This latest milestone is one of many in what has been a historic season for Clark. On August 18, she broke the rookie assists record by surpassing the 224-assist mark during the Fever’s 92-75 victory over the Seattle Storm. Currently, she leads the league with an average of 8.3 assists per game, putting her on pace to potentially break yet another record. With just 52 more assists, Clark could surpass Alyssa Thomas’s single-season assist record of 316, which has stood as a benchmark of excellence in the WNBA.

Clark’s all-around brilliance has made her a leading candidate in the Rookie of the Year race, where she faces stiff competition from Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese. However, performances like Friday’s are making it increasingly difficult to argue against Clark’s claim to the title. Her ability to both score and facilitate has made her one of the most dynamic players in the league, regardless of experience.
