Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese both dominated in college basketball, now the pair keep making history in the WNBA.
On Sunday, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a 92-75 win over the Seattle Storm and broke another league record in the process.
In addition to scoring 23 points, the 22-year-old also recorded her 225th assist which saw her pass Ticha Penicheiro’s record for the most assists by a rookie in WNBA history, which was set in 1998.
“To pass somebody like her, I’m just forever thankful. She’s been such a legend in our game. It’s super cool, but hopefully there are a lot more of those,” Clark – who leads the league with 8.3 assists per game – said after the game.
The historic moment came in the second quarter of the game and was welcomed by Penicheiro in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Records are meant to be broken…it shows growth and evolution. Can’t think of a better player to break it,” Penicheiro wrote, while the Fever posted a video of the former WNBA star congratulating Clark, who finished the game with nine assists and 232 total on the season.
