In the final WNBA game before a month-long break due to the All-Star break and, subsequently, the Paris Olympics, Caitlin Clark provided a historic performance on July 17. The Indiana Fever rookie broke the 28-year league’s single-game assists record by dropping 19 dimes in a 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings.
That broke the previous mark of 18 by Courtney Vandersloot in 2020 and later tied by her in a 2021 playoff game. Clark also added 24 points in the defeat, which is the fourth-most points in her young career, to go along with six rebounds and seven turnovers. Clark’s points total was second on the team to Aliyah Boston’s 28, and most of the latter’s scoring came from passes from Clark. Eleven of her 19 assists ended up in the hands of Boston as the last two No. 1 overall picks in the WNBA Draft have displayed great chemistry.
