Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History Against Connecticut Sun

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have started to come alive as the WNBA All-Star Game nears, jumping to 11-10 through their first 21 games of the 2025 WNBA season.

On Tuesday, Clark and the Fever looked for their third straight win, taking on the Connecticut Sun in Boston for a second consecutive year.

Coming into Tuesday night, Clark had recorded 445 assists in 52 games during her two-year WNBA career. Clark was quick to pick up her first four assists of the game, doing so in the first quarter.

However, she didn't secure her fifth assist of the night until 1:58 in the third quarter, when Clark hit Sophie Cunningham for a 1-foot layup. This marked Clark's 450th career assist.

In doing so, Clark has become the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 450 career assists, achieving this in just 53 games.

The previous record for fastest to 450 assists was former Sacramento Monarchs guard Ticha Penicheiro, who achieved this in 62 games during the 1999 WNBA season. Former New York Liberty guard Teresa Weatherspoon now drops down to third, accumulating 450 career assists in 71 games.

It may not come as a surprise that Clark continues to break playmaking records. During her rookie season, she set WNBA marks for most assists in both a single game (19) and a single season (337). However, Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas, a forward, is now on pace to break Clark’s single-season record.

Following the Sun game, Clark and Indiana will face the New York Liberty on Wednesday in their final game before All-Star Weekend.
