Caitlin Clark has set another record.

The Indiana Fever star scored 23 points, dished out eight assists and grabbed five rebounds in a 90-80 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday, surpassing the 500-point, 200-assist mark in just 29 career games.

Given her record-breaking debut year, it’s no surprise that Clark is not only the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 500 points and 200 assists, but also the first player to accomplish both feats in her rookie season.

Although the Fever couldn’t take home the win on Saturday, fans still praised Clark for reaching another milestone.

Caitlin Clark is set to break the all-time assists record and likely the all-time scoring record by the time she’s done#FeverRising

Caitlin Clark already leads the league in assists per game and total assists in her rookie season… She’ll go down as the best playmaker in WNBA history when all is said and done, no disrespect to the great Sue Bird, but it’s a fact.

Even with the loss, the Fever have shown a marked improvement from last season. Indiana finished 13-27 a year ago and has matched its win total in 29 games, making it 13-16 this year.

The Fever are also in good position to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2016, as they currently sit seventh in the WNBA standings.

Clark has already made history this season and she took it up a notch on Saturday. She will look to continue breaking records this year and hopefully lead her team to a playoff spot.
