Indiana Fever standout Caitlin Clark has reached a significant milestone in WNBA history, matching legendary point guard Sue Bird’s record for career double-doubles by a guard. Clark achieved her 28th career double-double in just 81 games, a feat that took Bird 580 games to accomplish over her 19-season career.
This achievement highlights the rapid pace of Clark’s professional development during her 2026 season. After an injury-shortened second year, Clark has returned to elite form, averaging 21.6 points, 8.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. Her ability to contribute across multiple statistical categories has been central to the Fever’s offensive output, which notably included a four-game stretch earlier this season where the team scored over 100 points, setting a new league record.
While Clark has now caught Bird on the all-time leaderboard for guards, she continues to chase other league leaders. Courtney Williams currently holds second place with 31 double-doubles in 365 games, while Courtney Vandersloot leads the category with 61 double-doubles in 450 games. Clark’s efficiency in reaching this mark—499 games faster than Bird—underscores her role as a primary playmaker in the Indiana system.
The milestone comes amidst a highly productive season for the guard, who has also set multiple WNBA records for long-range shooting. As the season progresses, the focus remains on her ability to maintain this level of production while navigating the physical demands of the professional schedule.
