In a landmark game for the WNBA, Caitlin Clark became the first player to record at least 40 points and 10 assists in a single outing. Her performance guided the Indiana Fever to a 110-107 victory over the Seattle Storm at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The 24-year-old, who was the top pick in the 2024 draft, secured her fifth double-double of the season by setting a career-high in points.
Clark hit six shots from beyond the arc and performed exceptionally at the free-throw line, converting 17 of 19 attempts during her 29 minutes of play. Fever coach Stephanie White praised the display as surreal, calling the guard a special talent. During the same game, Seattle’s 20-year-old Awa Fam set a record as the youngest player to make four three-pointers in a single quarter, while teammate Dominique Malonga contributed 28 points and 14 rebounds in the high-scoring defeat.
The milestone comes amidst ongoing national discussion regarding how Clark is treated by opponents. NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently remarked that the star has unfairly become a political target. Silver emphasized that Clark wants to focus on her game, noting that the scrutiny surrounding her on-court treatment has evolved into a broader cultural debate that extends beyond basketball.
