Caitlin Clark was definitely in her bag on Wednesday night against the Dallas Wings.

The Indiana Fever rookie sensation Clark broke an all-time WNBA record by dishing out a remarkable 19 assists against the Wings. Clark completed the feat late in the fourth quarter with a dish to teammate Kelsey Mitchell for a left-wing three-pointer.

The previous all-time record-holder was Courtney Vandersloot, who logged 18 assists for the Chicago Sky during a game against (coincidentally) the Fever in 2020. Prior to that, the record was held for over two decades by Ticha Penicheiro of the now-defunct Sacramento Monarchs. Penicheiro posted 16 assists during a 1998 contest against the also now-defunct Cleveland Rockers (a feat since matched five different times).

As for Clark, she also finished with 24 points and six rebounds for a very well-rounded stat line (albeit in a losing effort as the Wings ultimately won 101-93). Clark entered play Wednesday averaging a WNBA-high 7.8 assists per game on the season and put up 8.2 assists per game over the course of her four-year college career at Iowa. Thus, the playmaking is very much a part of her game.

The No. 1 overall pick Clark shook off a slow start to her pro career and has since been producing all kinds of magic during games . But on Wednesday, she looked like Magic Johnson out there with her passing and broke an all-time WNBA record in the process.
