Two months after breaking the WNBA record for most assists in a game, Caitlin Clark has now set the record for most assists in a season.

Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark continues to rewrite the WNBA record books.

Clark set the WNBA record for assists in a single season on Friday night when she recorded her 317th of the season in a game against the Las Vegas Aces, breaking last season’s record set by Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun.

With under five minutes left, Clark made an inbounds pass to the onrushing Kelsey Mitchell, who drove to the basket and made a layup, giving her five assists on the night.

Most assists in a season, WNBA history

322 – Caitlin Clark (38 games in 2024)
316 – Alyssa Thomas (40 games in 2023)
314 – Courtney Vandersloot (39 games in 2023)
300 – Courtney Vandersloot (33 matches in 2019)
291 – Chelsea Gray (40 games in 2023)

Clark, who scored all 18 of her points in the second half, finished with eight rebounds and nine assists as Las Vegas defeated Indiana 78-74.

The feat comes less than two months after she set the single-game assists record (19) in a loss to the Dallas Wings. Clark also broke the rookie (Ticha Penicheiro had 225 in 1998) and franchise (Erica Wheeler had 201 in 2023) records earlier this year.

The No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft out of Iowa, Clark is averaging 19.1 points and a league-high 8.4 assists. She is also averaging 5.8 rebounds.
