Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, who led the WNBA with an average of 8.4 assists per game during the 2024 season, was notably absent from a recent WNBA list highlighting the league’s top assist leaders. This oversight has ignited widespread criticism from fans and analysts, emphasizing the necessity for accurate representation of players’ achievements. Clark’s exceptional playmaking skills were evident throughout the season, culminating in her setting the WNBA’s single-season assist record with 321 assists, surpassing the previous record of 316 set by Alyssa Thomas in 2023.
