All the attention has been on Caitlin Clark of late, but it’s Olivia Miles who stole the spotlight during the Minnesota Linx’s win over the Portland Fire.
Olivia Miles put on another clinic last night, dropping 13 points and orchestrating Minnesota’s offense with 7 assists in their win over Portland.
The rookie standout is putting up serious numbers this year, averaging 20 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game as a primary engine for the Lynx.
Sitting comfortably at the top of the WNBA standings, the Minnesota Lynx are in prime position as the regular season winds down.
Olivia Miles moves past Caitlin Clark in WNBA history
We saw Caitlin Clark surpass Sue Bird for double-doubles from a guard in her last outing for the Indiana Fever, and now it’s Olivia Miles’ turn to break a Clark record.
Miles has surpassed Clark to become the fastest player in WNBA history to record 650 points and 200 assists. With her display last night, her season totals climbed to 653 points and 200 assists in 32 games.
Clark originally hit 650 points and 200 assists during her historic 2024 rookie season, taking 33 games to reach those combined totals.
What makes this record swap so fun to watch is just how easily Miles fits into the WNBA spotlight. Clark set the bar ridiculously high as a rookie, but Miles is already proving she can match that elite level night in, night out.
Beating Clark’s mark by even a single game shows she isn’t just following in anyone’s footsteps, she’s establishing herself as a true star for Minnesota right now.
