Caitlin Clark Sets WNBA Records in Game Against Seattle Storm

Caitlin Clark made history in the WNBA on July 17, 2026, by becoming the first player in league history to achieve at least 40 points and 10 assists in a single game. She scored 45 points, recorded 10 assists, and had four steals in a match against the Seattle Storm, leading her team to a 110-107 victory. This performance marked her best game as a professional and the highest scoring game by a WNBA point guard or any Indiana Fever player. In a post-game interview, Clark expressed her focus on the team's performance rather than her individual achievements. She also addressed her recent struggles, emphasizing the importance of resilience and self-belief. The WNBA has faced scrutiny in recent weeks following an incident where Clark was punched in the throat by another player, leading to discussions about player safety and officiating standards. In response, a group of Republican lawmakers called for better protection for Clark. The Fever, now with a record of 15-10, are tied for first place in the Eastern Conference and will play against the New York Liberty next.
