Report:Indiana Fever Rookie Caitlin Clark Takes Over as WNBA’s Assist Leader
Caitlin Clark is now the WNBA’s assist leader. The Indiana Fever rookie guard passed (no pun intended) Connecticut Sun guard Alyssa Thomas for the league’s top spot currently.
Thomas was the WNBA leader in the category heading into Sunday’s games. She finished with just three assists in Connecticut’s 96-69 victory over the Phoenix Mercury, dropping her average down to 7.7 on the year.
Clark ended Sunday’s game with six assists as the Indiana Fever defeated the Minnesota Lynx 81-74. She is averaging 7.8 assists per game, the best average in the league after Sunday.
Indiana has played 25 games this season and Connecticut has played 23.
