Caitlin Clark is on top of the WNBA world. But, being one of the highest-profile WNBA players always comes with critics, so it's no surprise that Clark is often criticized, whether it's about how she handles the referees during games or other matters.
Well, numbers don't lie, and Clark just silenced the critics by accomplishing two historic feats.
On Friday, the Indiana Fever took on the Connecticut Sun in a home matchup in Indianapolis. During the game, Clark made history.
The Fever's official account sent out a message on X saying that Clark is the "first player in WNBA history to have 800+ PTS & 300+ AST in a season AND the first to have 300+ AST & 100+ 3PM in a season."

So, accomplishing those two historic feats puts her over the edge. It's wild to think that no other WNBA player has earned those honors.
Now, Clark gets a break. The Fever don't play again until a Sept. 18 game against the Toronto Tempo.
The WNBA is taking the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup break. There's a 17-day hiatus in the schedule from Aug. 31 to Sept. 16, 2026, to make room for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Germany.

The break could be a welcome chance for the Fever to catch their breath before the final stretch of the season. When Indiana resumes play against Toronto on Sept. 18, the Fever will begin the next chapter of their season with Clark coming off another remarkable milestone. The fact that she now stands alone in two different statistical categories is a reminder of just how much she continues to accomplish. No other WNBA player has put together those particular combinations in a single season, and now Clark owns another record.
