Caitlin Clark Leads WNBA With 5.2 Turnovers Per Game After Setting 223-Turnover Rookie Record

5.2 turnovers per game has Caitlin Clark atop the WNBA again, extending a ball-security issue that already produced a league-record 223 turnovers in her 2024 rookie season.
Thursday's loss to Golden State highlighted the problem: Clark scored for Indiana but also committed five turnovers, including two late mistakes that helped spoil the game.
Her turnover totals come alongside elite creation. Clark set the single-season assists record with 337 as a rookie and reached 1,000 points and 500 assists in just 59 games.
Indiana has still outscored opponents by 32 points with Clark on the floor early in 2026, reinforcing the view that her mistakes are partly the cost of carrying such a large offensive load.
The longer-term question is whether she can cut risky passes and unforced errors enough to keep turnovers from becoming the main flaw in an otherwise historic career.
Will Caitlin Clark's record-breaking turnovers ultimately overshadow her historic impact on the WNBA?
As favoritism debates swirl, is Clark the WNBA's greatest asset or its most divisive figure?
