Another day, another record broken by Caitlin Clark. The 22-year-old rookie recorded 19 assists in the Indiana Fever’s 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings on Wednesday – a WNBA record for a single game. The New York Liberty’s Courtney Vandersloot held the previous record of 18 assists, set in August 2020 when she was with the Chicago Sky. Clark also added 24 points and six rebounds against the Wings, but it was ultimately in a losing cause as the Fever fell to 11-15 on the season. “I just try to set my teammates up for success,” Clark told reporters after the game. “I think at times, I can almost over-pass and there could have been a few times where, instead of passing that leads to turnovers … I could probably shoot the ball.” Her teammate, Aliyah Boston, added that the record is “pretty cool,” despite knowing that Clark would say “it means nothing.”

A federal judge signed off on arguably the biggest change in the history of college sports on Friday, clearing the way for schools to begin paying their athletes millions of dollars as soon as next month as the multibillion-dollar industry shreds the last vestiges of the amateur model that defined it for more than a century.
