Caitlin Clark sets WNBA record in 57th game

Caitlin Clark’s latest record took shape in two steps over one weekend. The Indiana Fever guard finished with 21 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in an 89-78 win over the Seattle Storm on Sunday in Indianapolis, a line that gave her 11 career games with at least 20 points and 10 assists, the most in WNBA history, according to ESPN and the Associated Press. The mark came in Clark’s 57th career game, NBC’s regional outlets reported. The record also hinged on a stat correction from Indiana’s previous game, which moved Clark into a tie before she broke it outright against Seattle. ### How did the record change between games? Friday’s overtime loss to the Washington Mystics was first logged as a near miss in one category and then revised. The WNBA later credited Clark with two additional assists from that game, according to IndyStar and ESPN, lifting her total to 10 assists and turning the performance into another 20-point, 10-assist outing. That pushed her to 10 such games before Sunday’s matchup with Seattle. ESPN reported that the correction tied Clark with Courtney Vandersloot for the most career games in league history with at least 20 points and 10 assists. Clark then moved ahead with No. 11 against the Storm. ### What exactly did Clark do against Seattle? Sunday’s box score showed Clark with 21 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and two blocks in Indiana’s 89-78 home win. (indystar.com) The Associated Press report carried by MyNorthwest said Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham added 17 points each for the Fever, who improved to 2-2. (msn.com) Fox Sports and other box-score services listed the game as played May 17 in Indianapolis, which reflects the Sunday night contest that was widely reported on May 18. Clark reached 10 assists by the fourth quarter as Indiana pulled away. ### Why is the “57th game” detail getting so much attention? NBC’s report highlighted the speed of the milestone: Clark got to the record in her 57th career game. (sports.mynorthwest.com) That detail matters because the record is usually discussed alongside much longer careers for veteran point guards and high-usage scorers. The Seattle game was also not an isolated spike. (foxsports.com) ESPN said Clark had already reached the record after the stat change from Friday’s game, and Sunday’s performance extended it again. ### Was there more history in the Washington game too? The Fever said after the stat revision that Clark became the first player in WNBA history with multiple games of 30 points and 10 assists. (nbclosangeles.com) Yahoo Sports, citing the team’s post, said the updated Washington line gave her that distinction. The Athletic, as cited in the source briefing, also reported that Clark’s overtime loss to Washington was her second 30-point, 10-assist game, making her the only player in league history to do that more than once. (msn.com) That left the weekend with two separate statistical milestones attached to the same correction-and-follow-up sequence. (sports.yahoo.com) ### What comes next for tracking this? ESPN’s game log and the WNBA’s official statistics pages will reflect any further scoring or assist adjustments as the regular season continues. Clark’s 2026 totals and game-by-game lines are already being updated there after Indiana’s opening stretch. Indiana’s next regular-season game will determine whether Clark adds to the record immediately, but the benchmark itself is now set at 11 career games with at least 20 points and 10 assists.
