It didn't take long for Caitlin Clark to set a single-game WNBA record.
In the Indiana Fever's final contest before the Olympic break, Clark broke Courtney Vandersloot's all-time mark for assists in a game. The No. 1 overall pick racked up 19 dimes against the Dallas Wings, topping Vandersloot's previous record by one.
Could we see Clark or other WNBA stars break any other notable single-game records in the 2024 season? From points to rebounds and more, here's a look at the league records to beat:

Liz Cambage and Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson share the single-game record for points at 53. Cambage initially set the record with the Wings during the 2018 season before Wilson matched it in 2023.
Riquna Williams, who had a 51-point outing with the Tulsa Shock in 2013, is the only other player in league history with a 50-point game.
What are the most rebounds by a WNBA player in a game?
The single-game rebounding record has stood for two decades as no player has been able to duplicate Chamique Holdsclaw's 24-board effort with the Washington Mystics in 2003.
There have been three 23-rebound games since, with two coming from Atlanta Dream center Tina Charles (2010, 2011) and one from Michelle Snow (2006). Chicago Sky big Angel Reese has a 22-rebound game in her standout rookie season.
The single-game high for defensive rebounds is 21, set by Amanda Zahui B. in 2020. The single-game high for offensive rebounds is 12, shared by Cheryl Ford (2004), Sancho Lyttle (2010), Nneka Ogwumike (2012) and Glory Johnson (2013).
What are the most assists by a WNBA player in a game?
As previously mentioned, Caitlin Clark tallied 19 assists in July to break Courtney Vandersloot's record of 18 that had stood since 2020. Vandersloot, who currently plays for the New York Liberty, set the record as a member of the Sky.
What are the most 3-pointers made by a WNBA player in a game?
Seattle Storm guard Jewell Loyd and Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell share the single-game 3-point record at nine makes. Mitchell first set the record during the 2019 campaign before Loyd matched it last season.
Loyd has also drilled eight triples twice in her career, while Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi has reached that figure four times. Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride and Sky guard Rachel Banham each have hit eight 3s in a game this season.
What are the most steals by a WNBA player in a game?
Just like Chamique Holdsclaw's rebounding record, the single-game record for steals has stood since the 2003 season. Ticha Penicheiro became the first and only player to tally double-figure steals in a game when she had 10 as a member of the Sacramento Monarchs in 2003.
What are the most blocks by a WNBA player in a game?
Mercury center Brittney Griner swatted away 11 shots in a 2014 game, breaking the record shared by Lisa Leslie and Margo Dydek at 10. Those are the only three players to ever reach the 10-block mark in a game.
Griner also has a pair of nine-block performances on her résumé, while Dydek recorded nine blocks three times during her career.
