Despite playing under a minutes restriction as she continues to work her way back into her typical workload within Indiana's (14-9) lineup, Caitlin Clark set another WNBA record on Sunday night in the Fever's 109-75 rout of the Las Vegas Aces (17-7) at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
As the third quarter neared its conclusion, the former Hawkeye made a nifty pass to teammate Monique Billings, who converted at the basket while being fouled and later completed the three-point play. The helper from Clark was her 600th career **** ist, making her the fastest player in WNBA history to reach that milestone, accomplishing the feat in just 72 games.
The three-time WNBA All-Star would go on to finish with 12 points on 5 for 11 shooting, 1 for 5 from 3-point land, and 1 for 2 at the free-throw line, to go along with seven **** ists and six rebounds in 24 minutes of play.
While it didn't take Clark long to reach 600, the 6-foot guard still has quite a long way to go to even come close to the league's all-time regular-season career **** ist leader, Hall of Famer Sue Bird, who has 3,234 **** ists.
Having won five of their last seven games and leaped into fifth place in the league standings, Clark and Fever will return to play on Wednesday, July 15, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Golden State Valkyries (17-7). That game between the Fever and Valkyries is scheduled for a 7 p.m. CT tipoff and will be broadcast on USA Network.
