No stranger to setting records and making history, Caitlin Clark did it again on Friday
night. The Indiana Fever guard and arguably the face of the league, accomplished a first in WNBA history while helping her team beat the Connecticut Sun, 111-91.
As is often the case, Clark led both teams in minutes played, but also made the most of her time on the court. She scored 34 pints in 34 minutes, going 12-of-19 from the field and 6-of-12 from three.
Clark also recorded 12 assists and five rebounds. She even had three steals in the game. And with similar production in her last game prior to Friday, Clark's consistency placed her name in the WNBA record books.
Clark, who put up 37 points and 10 assists on Aug. 23, became the first player in league history with consecutive games with 30-plus points and at least 10 assists. For a league that began play in 1997, Clark, not any of the great players who came before her, has the most versatile and dynamic back-to-back games ever played, at least total production-wise.

Now in her third WNBA season after being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 following her historic and revolutionary college career at Iowa, Clark is putting together her best professional year yet. She's going to finish with a career-high in scoring, currently holding averages of 22.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 8.4 assists per game through 36 games.
She finished with 19.2 points per game as a rookie in 2024 and then dipped down to 16.5 in only 13 games last season due to injury.
But healthy and playing better than ever, Clark now has her eyes on something that alluded her in college: a championship. Falling in the National Championship Game two years in a row, Clark has Indiana sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference at 26-14, granted that mark only puts them fourth in the whole league.
