Caitlin Clark leads WNBA in points scored or assisted on

Caitlin Clark continues to make history at every turn during her rookie season with the Indiana Fever.

As ESPN was counting fans down to tipoff between the Dallas Wings at the Las Vegas Aces, the network shared another incredible Caitlin Clark statistic.

Entering the Sunday matchup between the Wings and Aces, Caitlin Clark was leading the WNBA in points scored or assisted on with 713 points.

Clark became the first WNBA rookie to register a triple-double after she finished with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds in a thrilling comeback victory over the New York Liberty on Saturday. As ESPN noted, Clark scored or assisted on 46 of the Fever’s 83 points on Saturday.

Clark is still atop the WNBA’s points scored or assisted chart coming out of Sunday, too. Dallas’ Arike Ogunbowale scored 13 points and assisted four times to account for 21 points, while Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson scored 28 points and had a pair of assists to account for 33 points.

That brought their respective season totals up to 705 points scored or assisted on for Ogunbowale and 671 points scored or assisted on for Wilson.

To be fair to Wilson and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, the Fever have played two more games than the Aces and one more than the Liberty to date.

Nevertheless, Clark being alongside those names is another indication of the magical rookie season she’s enjoying and a strong argument in the WNBA Rookie of the Year chase.

Clark and the Fever return to action on Wednesday, July 10 at 11 a.m. on NBA TV versus the Washington Mystics.
