INDIANAPOLIS — It was another record-breaking night for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

The rookie guard set the WNBA’s single-season record for assists Friday night. She had 18 points — all in the second half — nine assists and eight rebounds in a 78-74 loss to the Las Vegas Aces.

The 22-year-old Clark is up to 321 assists in her first year in the WNBA, with the No. 1 draft pick breaking the mark of 316 set last season by Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun.

The Fever (19-19) have two games left in the regular season, against the Dallas Wings on Sunday and the Washington Mystics on Thursday.

Clark has per-game averages of 19.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and a league-high 8.4 assists.
