WNBA undercounted Caitlin Clark's record-breaking production in mocked social media post
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are on a 6-1 run, with Clark seemingly running away with the Rookie of the Year award. Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright ask if the WNBA is doing enough to support Clark's rising stardom.
The WNBA posted on social media Friday to commemorate Caitlin Clark's record-breaking rookie season.
But fans took issue with the post not including the full extent of Clark's assist total.
"Clark notched the single-season assists record with 321 total dimes, as well set the all-time single-game assist record against the Dallas Wings with 19," the post said.
Clark actually finished the season with 337 assists, the new record.

The previous record was 315, and Clark's 316th assist broke the record. However, in the game in which she recorded her 316th assist Sept. 13 against the Las Vegas Aces, Clark finished the night with 321 on the season.
Still, the number used in the post has drawn the mockery of WNBA and Caitlin Clark fans.
"The amount of things this account gets wrong daily is staggering. Caitlin has 337 assists. How hard is it to look up stats on your own page," one user wrote.
Another frustrated user wrote, "Caitlin Clark had 337 regular season assists and then 17 more from her 2 post season games. How hard is it to get basic stats correct?"

Many have also called for X to add a community note to the post to clarify that Clark finished with 16 more assists than what the post says.
