    Another day, another incredible accomplishment by Caitlin Clark. On Wednesday, she made WNBA and Indiana Fever franchise history, only 26 games into her professional career.

    In the final game before the All-Star break, Clark became the fastest player ever to notch 400 points and 200 assists in a season.

    Clark is only the ninth player in WNBA history to record 400 points and 200 assists or more in a season, but the first rookie. Likewise, she's only the second first-year player to post 200 assists.

    She finished with 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting in Wednesday's 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings. But Clark was in her usual giving mood, dishing out insane dimes at, you guessed it, historic levels.

    In a record-breaking mood, Clark casually topped her own franchise record and an all-time WNBA record, finishing with 19 assists on Wednesday.

    Additionally, now with 213 assists on the year, she passed Erica Wheeler (2023) for the most by a Fever player, rookie or otherwise, in a single season.

    In fairness, Clark also owns the single-season franchise record for turnovers (145). But, being the go-to option to score and facilitate lends itself, in a way, to such a large number.

    On a bigger scale, Clark has shown tremendous versatility to a level the WNBA hasn't seen. Entering action on Wednesday, she was on pace to become the only player in the league's history to average at least 16.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals.

    Wednesday's monumental feats are one of many Clark has already earned. But, with 14 games left, there's plenty of time left to do even more.
