Well, Clark isn’t just going to finish this season as the WNBA’s assists leader. She’s going to own the record for most assists in a single season.
That’s right, Clark broke the single-season assists record on Friday night against the Las Vegas Aces. The No. 1 pick currently has 321 assists with two games remaining on the regular-season schedule.
Instead of taking shots at Swoopes in her postgame press conference, Clark used her achievement to prop up the rest of the WNBA.
“I think it definitely speaks to the whole entire year and how historic it has been for this league and how great the basketball has been for the league, and we’re not even into the playoffs yet,” Clark said. “I think that’s what’s so fun about it, is you’re just going to continue to see records be taken down, but also I think really good basketball, and that’s why it’s been so fun to watch.
“That’s why the fans have been showing up. The viewership has been absolutely crushed this year. So I think everybody’s just kind of raising their game. The competition’s just getting better and better, and it’s fun as a competitor to show up in this league every night and know you have to bring your best, because whoever’s on the other side of the court from you, they’re going to bring their best, and that’s what makes it fun. It’s been cool to watch everybody really take a step up and elevate, and to be a part of that has been really fun for myself too.”

Whether she’s on the court or at the podium, Clark always makes the right play. It’s what makes her such a transcendent talent for the league.
Clark will return to action this Sunday for a showdown against the Dallas Wings.
