Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark just rewrote the record books for about the fiftieth time this WNBA season.

Caitlin Clark is completely rewriting what people thought was possible in the WNBA, making record-breaking look almost routine.

She set a WNBA record with five straight games of 20-plus points and five-plus assists while becoming the fastest player in league history to reach 600 career assists, as well as surpassing Sue Bird on the guards list for double-doubles in history.

But what makes this even more impressive is how she keeps blowing past expectations despite facing relentless full-court pressure and defenses designed purely to stop her.

And the game between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream was no different.

The Indiana Fever’s official X account announced after the game that Caitlin Clark is the only player in WNBA history to average 26+ PPG and 9+ APG over a 11-game span.

Over the last 11 games, she’s averaging 26.3 points per game, 9.4 assists per game 3.5 rebounds per game and 1.3 steals per game.

Through 31 games in the 2026 WNBA season, Caitlin Clark is averaging 22.0 points, 8.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 45.0% from the field and 35.4% from beyond the arc.

This puts her on pace for several major milestones. Clark recently became the fastest WNBA or NBA player this century to reach 700 career assists, and she is closing in on Diana Taurasi’s record for the most career games featuring at least 25 points, five three-pointers, and five assists.

Furthermore, if she maintains her current league-leading assist rate, she is on track to break her own single-season WNBA assist average record.
