Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has broken yet another WNBA record for the most rookie assists in a single season.
“If you’d told me I was going to lead the league in assists coming in here in my rookie season, I probably would have told you that you were lying,” Clark shared in a postgame interview on Sunday, as reported by ESPN. “But I take a lot of pride in that. I want to set my teammates up first and foremost because that’s going to help you have the most successful team.”
Along with her nine assists, Clark personally scored 23 points for the Fever and notched five rebounds and two blocks. “I’m always looking for my teammates in transition, that’s where I tend to thrive the most,” she added.
Women’s college basketball has never been more popular, thanks in large part to a fierce rivalry between two of the game’s biggest stars. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark — who became the all-time NCAA scoring leader this season — and LSU’s Angel Reese — who was named SEC Player of the Year — have helped usher in […]
Clark also took the time after Sunday’s game to praise Penicheiro, who played for the now-defunct San Francisco Monarchs between 1998 and 2009 and finished her WNBA career with a total of 2,600 assists in 2012.

“If you watch her highlights, she was definitely a better passer than me,” Clark said of Penicheiro, now 49, on Sunday. “She had way more flair to her game. She would spin around and make these crazy passes. I kind of just run in transition and chuck it up there and hope for the best.”
Before Clark, Penichiero had the third-most assists for a rookie in a single WNBA season. The top WNBA assist record in a single season is held by Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun, who set the record in 2023 with 316 assists in 40 games.
