Caitlin Clark’s Record Under Threat As Paige Bueckers Continues Her Historic Rookie Campaign With Multiple Milestones

Caitlin Clark’s records are in danger. The Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers becomes the fastest WNBA rookie to score 500 points and 100 assists. She has played 27 games in the WNBA. Her latest match was against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Sparks won the game by a 1-point lead.

However, Bueckers stole the show with a whopping 29 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. She maintained her long streak of matches with 10 points or more, along with breaking the franchise’s record for the most assists. Clark is still at the top of the Rookie leaderboard with 769 points. However, with the current pace, it might not take much time for Bueckers to surpass the top rookie player of the WNBA.

Paige Bueckers becomes fastest rookie in WNBA to score 500 points, breaks Dallas Wings’ franchise record with most assists

Paige Bueckers is just breaking records with her gameplay. Even though the Dallas Wings faced another loss, and this time against the Los Angeles Sparks, Bueckers has managed to maintain her streak regardless. The rookie already holds the longest streak of scoring 10 points or more. After today’s match, the streak extends to 27 straight games. Bueckers has never scored less than 10 points in a game. Apart from maintaining this, the player recorded two new milestones.

Setting the court on fire, the rookie sensation broke the franchise’s record for the highest number of assists in a rookie season. After the match against the Sparks, her assist count stands at 143. This also places her in the 7th position across the franchise history with the most number of assists.

While the franchise records are being broken, Bueckers doesn’t seem to settle and continues to break WNBA records as well. After scoring a total of 29 points, the Wings’ star becomes the fastest rookie to rack up 500 points. The rookie campaign seems to be going well for the athlete. With such a pace and series of records, Bueckers is going to leave a major mark within the league.

Paige Bueckers reacts to Sophie Cunningham’s statement.

The Dallas Wings defeated the Indiana Fever by a 1-point lead. Maddy Siegrist and Li Yueru were the highest scorers of the game with 22 and 20 points, respectively. Paige Pueckers racked up 16 points to add to the roster.

However, Fever’s star Sophie Cunningham was not content with the gameplay. Pointing at the referee’s bias towards Bueckers, she stated, “Those refs were giving her every whistle last night. You literally couldn’t touch her, couldn’t touch her. That s**t is so annoying to me. And if you’re going to do that, then to give it to our guards. I just hate the inconsistency.”
