The WNBA found themselves embarrassed as they had to delete a post about Caitlin Clark that backfired following an attempt to hype up the Indiana Fever star’s assists rate in her exceptional rookie season.
Clark recorded an average of 8.4 per game and ended up leading the entire league in the category, highlighting her supreme talent, and the social media teams decided to share a highlights compilation to fans online.
Totalling 90 seconds, the footage showed some incredibly plays from the skilled 22-year-old only to eventually have to delete the post from X.com, formerly Twitter, after selling the ex-Iowa Hawkeye short.
The WNBA had mistakenly claimed she only made 321 “total times” [assists] instead of her true number of 337 and as a result, they issued their retraction after fans quickly pointed it out following some 180,000 views.
One user posted: “337. You tried and we’ll just start there.”
A second added: “337 sheesh.”
And a third commented: “U do know she had 337 assists right? This is the new record.”
Whilst a fourth slammed the league by saying, “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?”
And it’s hard to argue the fans are wrong too. With just one season in the sport, a quick glance at ESPN’s career stats total would have given them the correct answer they needed to avoid upsetting the Fever fans.
Clark coy on Unrivaled league links
As it stands, fans will be waiting several months before Clark takes to the basketball court again for the WNBA preseason as she continues to enjoy playing golf and competing in Pro-Am tournaments.

Yet could she be back even sooner? Napheesa Collier‘s Unrivaled league have reportedly offered her a million dollars to sign up to the 3×3 competition in January 2025, so is she interested?
“We’ll see,” Caitlin Clark told ESPN of joining the Unrivaled league. “I don’t know. Just taking it as it goes, and see if I want to play eventually.”

Tom Brady may be reined in by FOX Sports following his awkward comment about Matt LaFleur that had the internet in stitches.
The former NFL quarterback called Sunday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions and liked what he saw where Green Bay’s head coach was concerned as he waxed lyrical over the 45-year-old Michigan native.
“Look at that perfect little moustache, goatee that he’s got,” Brady said right before a third-and-three. “We can’t see his hair today. But I was so impressed when I saw him in the tunnel, such a handsome guy. he said he spends $100 a week to keep himself looking like that.”
Kevin Burkhardt, his booth partner, could only offer a “Wow.”
