Caitlin Clark extends 20‑and‑10 record

Caitlin Clark’s latest record did not come from a buzzer-beater or a season milestone. It came in two stages over roughly 24 hours: first through a league statistical correction, then through another box score that looked familiar. Indiana’s 89-78 win over Seattle on Sunday, May 17, gave Clark 21 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, according to the WNBA game recap and NBC Sports. (nbcsports.com) That performance came after the league revised Friday’s loss to Washington and credited Clark with two additional assists, lifting her to 10 in that game as well. The result is that Clark now owns the WNBA record for career games with at least 20 points and 10 assists, a category that tracks high-volume scoring and primary playmaking in the same night. (indystar.com) NBC Sports said Sunday’s game pushed her total to 11 such performances. (nbcsports.com) ### How did the record change after the game was already over? The WNBA reviewed Friday’s box score from Indiana’s overtime loss to the Washington Mystics and added two assists to Clark’s total, according to IndyStar and other reports. Her line from that game changed from 32 points and eight assists to 32 points and 10 assists. (wnba.com) That matters because the correction changed the historical count. Before Sunday’s tipoff against Seattle, the revised Washington game had already given Clark the league record for career 20-point, 10-assist games, IndyStar reported. (nbcsports.com) ### What did Clark do against Seattle? Clark finished with 21 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in the Fever’s 11-point home win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The WNBA recap and NBC Sports both said Indiana led most of the way and improved to 2-2. Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham each scored 17 points for Indiana, with Cunningham doing her work off the bench. Seattle fell to 1-3.

Aliyah Boston missed Sunday’s game with a lower right leg injury, ending a streak of 275 consecutive games played dating to college and her WNBA career, NBC Sports and StatMuse’s AP-fed recap said. Boston had left Indiana’s previous game after getting hurt and was listed day to day. (indystar.com) Boston’s absence changed Indiana’s frontcourt rotation, but the Fever still produced their first home win after opening with two home losses, NBC Sports reported. (wnba.com) That gave the Clark performance a team result to go with the record. ### Why does the 20-and-10 category matter? (nbcsports.com) Twenty points and 10 assists in the same game is one of the clearest combinations of shot creation and scoring volume for a lead guard. In Clark’s case, the category has become a shorthand for how often she is driving both parts of Indiana’s offense at once, as shown by the revised Washington line and the Seattle game that followed. (nbcsports.com) The sequence also showed how official stat review can reshape league history after the final horn. Friday’s correction changed the record book, and Sunday’s game extended it again one game later. (nbcsports.com) ### What comes next after the correction and the win? Indiana left Sunday at 2-2 with Boston day to day and Clark coming off back-to-back games that now both qualify as 20-point, 10-assist performances. The WNBA game page and team coverage list the Seattle result as Indiana’s first home win of the season. The next checkpoints are straightforward: Boston’s injury status, the league’s official box scores, and whether Clark adds to a record that moved once on review and again on the floor.
