Caitlin Clark is putting together a historic all-around season for the Indiana Fever, sitting among the league leaders in both scoring and assists.

The 24-year-old guard is averaging 21.7 points per game, ranking third in the WNBA. She also leads the league with 8.2 assists per game, tied with Alyssa Thomas of the Phoenix Mercury.

If she finishes the season this way, Clark would become the first player in WNBA history to lead the league in assists while also finishing top three in scoring.

The feat would add another milestone to a career already filled with records. Clark set the single-season assists mark as a rookie in 2024 with 337. She has continued to rewrite the record books in her third professional season.

Clark has appeared in 29 games this year, averaging 30.4 minutes. She is shooting 44.3% from the field, 36.1% from three-point range and 85.6% from the free-throw line.

Her scoring average ranks behind only A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces at 26.3 points and teammate Kelsey Mitchell at 24.3. The combination of volume scoring and elite playmaking has been rare in the league’s nearly three-decade history.

No previous player has sustained averages of at least 20 points and 8 assists over a full season. Clark is on pace to do exactly that with roughly 11 games remaining in the regular season.

The Fever sit at 21-12 and hold first place in the Eastern Conference. Their offense ranks first in the league in points per game and offensive rating, fueled in large part by Clark’s vision and Mitchell’s scoring.

In her most recent outing, Clark recorded 22 points and 10 assists in a 106-92 victory over the New York Liberty. It marked another strong two-way contribution as Indiana extended a winning streak.

Clark has posted multiple double-digit assist games in recent weeks while maintaining her scoring output. She has also contributed 3.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per contest.

The guard’s all-around production has helped Indiana climb the standings after an injury-shortened 2025 campaign in which she played only 13 games. Fully healthy this season, she has reestablished herself as one of the league’s premier floor generals.

Discussions among fans and analysts often center on where Clark ranks among the top guards. Her statistical profile places her near the top of nearly every major category for the position.

Clark’s ability to create for teammates while scoring at a high volume has transformed the Fever’s attack. The team has recorded multiple 100-point games, setting franchise and league marks for offensive output in stretches of the schedule.

As the season enters its final stretch, Clark’s dual ranking in scoring and assists continues to draw attention. Maintaining her current averages would secure a unique place in WNBA history.

The numbers underscore a rare blend of scoring efficiency and playmaking that has defined her play in 2026. With the Fever positioned for a strong playoff push, Clark’s production remains central to their success.
