Caitlin Clark smashes WNBA record in just second game of season
Hawkeyes Wire via Yahoo ^ | 5/21/25 | Riley Donald

Breaking records has become as routine as free throws for Caitlin Clark. The star Indiana Fever guard and face of the WNBA is just two games into her second season, but is already seeing more records fall with her instantly strong performance to start off the season.

Clark opened up the season in midseason form with a 20-point, 10-assist, 10-rebound triple-double in a dominant 93-58 win over the Chicago Sky. Then, in her second game of the year, Clark once again filled up the stat sheet on her way to breaking a record.

Against the Atlanta Dream, which saw the Fever's comeback efforts fall just short, Clark tallied 27 points, 11 assists, and five rebounds. Clark's 25 points and 11 assists against the Dream now have her standing alone, already, with the most games in WNBA history with 25 or more points and 10 or more assists.

Clark now has six such performances of her young career. The 6-foot guard also notched the 16th double-double of her career.

In just over one season, Clark continues to take the league by storm. TV ratings are off the charts, teams are moving games to bigger arenas to accommodate fan ticket demands, and her on-court performances somehow continue to get better each night.

> Caitlin Clark smashes WNBA record… <

That can’t be due to just skill. So it’s either due to White Privilege or Climate Change. I’m not sure which one. So I’ll tune into MSNBC tomorrow to find out.

Going to walk my turtle again. As long as you are being subsidized by a sugar daddy, you have no reason to exist. Make it on your own or go away, no matter how “important” you emotionally feel. A Joy Reid redox....

I'm not sure whether that says something great about Clarke or if it shows the level of the rest of the WNBA.

Reminds me of Russell Westbrook. He played one season for the Wizards and became and still is the all-time team leader in triple doubles.

My friend was a counseler for alcoholics. Had the entire local women’s basketball team in therapy. Every one of them was a lesbian. If they’re good, they’re good. Not that I give a hoot. I only care about and watch PGA golf.

Dude, don't forget to blame the patriarchy. If it wasn't for a man, she wouldn't be out there on the court.

I think it has all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation.

So what’s so special about a slow-footed, corn-fed white girl from Iowa? Slam dunks are cool, but when a 36 footer off the dribble comes raining out of the sky, man it’ll wire you up.

“something great about Clarke or if it shows the level of the rest of the WNBA”

More like they hired characters instead of players.

Let girls play girls. Watch out for Paige Bueckers.
When she was about 9 years old, I would see her playing bb with what looked like her brother and some neighbors. One little blond girl, 4 black kids and one white kid.
She showed no fear.
