Statisticians Deny Caitlin Clark 2 Assists, Blocking Potential 30-10 WNBA First

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 16

Two uncredited passes in Indiana’s overtime win over Washington left Caitlin Clark short of a 30-point, 10-assist line that would have made her the first WNBA player to post that stat twice.
The disputed plays came on a second-quarter pass to Monique Billings for a corner 3 and a late regulation shovel pass to Kelsey Mitchell for another 3, both of which critics say directly created the baskets.
Assist rulings are made by official scorers using league guidelines and judgment, and the report argues neither a slight tip nor the shovel-pass action should have disqualified the plays.
If the league revises the box score, Clark’s night would add to another milestone after she already became the fastest player to 1,000 points, 250 assists and 250 rebounds in 54 games.
