Caitlin Clark Passes Alyssa Thomas to Break WNBA’s Single-Season Assist Record

Caitlin Clark’s historic rookie season in the WNBA continues.

Clark broke the WNBA’s all-time record for the most assists in a single season Friday night during the Indiana Fever’s 78–74 loss to the Las Vegas Aces at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Clark entered the game just four assists away from tying the single-season record held by Connecticut Sun star Alyssa Thomas, who set the mark with 316 assists in 2023. Clark notched her record-breaking 317th assist—and fifth dime of the night—in the second quarter by setting up teammate Kelsey Mitchell for a bucket on an inbounds pass.

Clark has set several records over the first few months of her professional basketball career. She broke the single-game assist record by dropping 19 dimes against the Dallas Wings on July 17, and she set the WNBA’s rookie single-season assist record Aug. 19. Clark also has drained more three-pointers than any rookie in league history and became the first rookie to record multiple triple-doubles.

After losing to Las Vegas for the second time in three days, the Fever dropped to 19–19, good for sixth place in the WNBA. They will wrap up the regular season with a tilt against the Wings on Sunday and a visit to Washington, D.C., to play the Mystics on Sept. 19.
