Since making her WNBA debut in 2024, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has proved why she was the No. 1 pick, thanks to her shooting, and success as a floor general. In addition to the records she broke during her NCAA career, she added yet another record to her résumé: the most assists in a single WNBA game.
