Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark enjoyed another win over Diana Taurasi’s Phoenix Mercury on Friday night with a 20-point, 13-assist performance.
The stat line marked a fifth double-double for the former Iowa guard, who was one assist away from setting a new franchise record.
It appears she tried to get it, too, as she swung a pass to teammate Aliyah Boston at the end of the fourth quarter. Given that Indiana was up by nine points with the clock running out, the decision prompted criticism, with one fan claiming Clark was “trying to stat pad for an assist record.”
Boston missed the jumper, in any case.

Fans wasted no time jumping to Caitlin’s defense, with one pointing out that she already holds the Fever’s record for most assists in a single game.

“What record ? BREAKING A RECORD SHE ALREADY HOLDS ?” they wrote.
“So….she either avoids the shot clock violation, gets the turnover, and you come at her for that OR she passes to AVOID the turnover, to which she’s now stat padding,” another claimed.
“Please explain to me how a stat that requires 2 people to get can be blamed on one person?” a user inquired.
“It’s okay to stat pad when you’re trying to make history. Caitlin Clark almost had it!” said another, clearly favoring the attempt to lengthen the record, if that’s what she was going for.
The Accolades Keep Rolling In For Caitlin Clark
Caitlin Clark and the Fever are scheduled to play the Minnesota Lynx this Sunday.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old enjoyed some novel accomplishments, having received two ESPYs on Thursday night. Clark was nominated for three awards, winning a pair of them as she was determined to have been the Best College Women’s Athlete in 2023, also winning the award for Best Record-Breaking Performance.
The rookie has also been named an All-Star in her first professional season and will play alongside rival Angel Reese for the first time in an attempt to topple the U.S. women’s Olympic basketball team.

NFL games can produce a ton of hilarious moments. Whether it’s on the field or with the fans, there’s always something crazy happening. This case concerns a social media post of a woman at a Miami Dolphins game and her very interesting look, which has everyone on social media making the same joke.
The caption reads, “My nephews found the cutest dog at the Dolphins game today,” but obviously, the poster had a very different idea of what everyone else would care about.
“That can’t be comfortable … I’m talking about the sunglasses and jersey on the dog,” one commenter said of the Miami Dolphins fan.
“I thought the Dolphins is a football team, so why is she carrying around basketballs?” another said.
“That is a very cool dog. Also, we really need to assess the engineering of her top, to incorporate into our future infrastructure projects,” a third added.
“Jesus Christ. Those boys will never be the same again, for all the right reasons,” continued a fourth.
Miami Dolphins Looking To Win AFC East For Third Year In A Row
The Dolphins have ended up on top of the AFC East in the last two years and will look to continue that streak this season.
The Miami front office has already shelled out a lot of money to keep those key players who have been a big part of that these last two years. They gave quarterback Tua Tagovailoa a four-year, $212.4 million extension and wide receiver Tyreek Hill a four-year, $120 million deal.
At this point, the Dolphins have spent so much money on just those two players that it would be considered a failure if they weren’t at least fighting for the division win by the end of the season.
