Caitlin Clark is lighting up the record books in her third WNBA season
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, after missing out on most of the 2025 WNBA season due to injury, is fully healthy now. Her stat line is showing it to a historic degree.
Through 28 games of the 2026 season, Caitlin Clark is averaging 21.5 points and 7.9 assists per game — and has become the fastest player in WNBA history to record 500 or more points and 150 or more assists in a single season.
During the Fever’s recent four-game win streak, Clark is averaging 30.3 points and 8.8 assists per game. In each of those games, the Fever have scored at least 100 points, making them the first WNBA team to ever score that many points in four consecutive games.
Clark is now tied for the most 30-point, five-assist performances in the regular season in WNBA history, and is the fastest player in WNBA history with at least 500 points and 150 assists in a single season.

Her recent individual performances have also been off the charts, too. Last week against the Seattle Storm, she posted 45 points and 10 assists to become the first player in WNBA history to achieve 40+ points and 10+ assists in a single game.
Clark’s current statistical output — both her scoring and playmaking — puts her in conversation with the greatest individual seasons in WNBA history.
For context, the league’s all-time single-season assist record is 294, set by Ticha Penicheiro in 2000 — Clark’s current pace projects her well above that total if she stays healthy and the Fever qualify for the playoffs. Her scoring average of 21.0 points per game would also rank among the top single-season marks in the league’s history.
Clark has been producing amid a season that has seen her be at the center of ongoing debates about officiating standards, physical play directed at her, congressional letters demanding WNBA accountability, and a broader culture war that has surrounded the league since being drafted out of Iowa in 2024.
The craze surrounding Clark is perhaps worse than ever, though, as Republican lawmakers wrote a letter to the commissioner inquiring about potentially “racially motivated attacks,” while the USA Today published a column invoking Emmett Till in an article about her flopping.
The Fever’s four-game win streak has put their record at 18-10, which would make them the fifth seed in the WNBA playoffs if the postseason were to start today.
