Another post pointed out that Clark had previously matched the same record in June. It noted that her earlier run came from June 11-22, 2026, when she also tied the WNBA’s longest streak.
Longest streaks:
6 — Caitlin Clark 8/6/2026 to 8/18/2026
6 — Clark 6/11/2026 to 6/22/2026
5 — Cappie Pondexter 7/8/2008 to 7/17/2008
5 — Arike Ogunbowale 8/29/2019 to 9/8/2019
5 — Kelsey Plum 7/24/2025 to 8/5/2025
5 — Clark 8/30/2024 to 9/8/2024
5 — Clark 5/9/2026 to 5/22/2026— Bol don’t lie (@bol_dont_lie) August 19, 2026
The list included players such as Cappie Pondexter, Arike Ogunbowale, and Kelsey Plum, while Clark appeared twice after reaching the mark in August 2024 and again in May 2026.
One fan took the comparison even further, joking about Clark competing against herself. “Yeah? Well, you just wait! This other Caitlin Clark lady ain’t got NOTHING on Caitlin Clark! Caitlin Clark is gonna TOAST that record! What’cha got to say about THAT, Caitlin Clark?”
Clark entered the matchup against the Tempo averaging 22.0 points, 8.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds, and remained consistent in her production.
Clark will have a chance to set a new WNBA record for the longest 20-point, 5-assist streak Thursday when Indiana faces the Dallas Wings at American Airlines Center.
Reese, meanwhile, has continued to make her own mark on the record books. She officially broke the Dream’s single-season rebounding record, collecting her 375th rebound against the Connecticut Sun last week.
She then added 10 more on Tuesday night against the Aces, taking her season total to 408.
Real App noted this major achievement from Reese, writing, “Angel Reese is the 2nd fastest player in WNBA history to reach 400+ rebounds in a season. Behind only herself in 2024.”

Reese also had a historic rookie season in 2024 with the Chicago Sky. She averaged 13.1 rebounds per game and collected 446 rebounds across 34 games.
She is well on her way to equalling a record she set in 2024.

This season, Reese reached 1,000 career rebounds in only 79 games, doing so 10 games faster than Tina Charles, who remains the league’s all-time rebounding leader with 4,262 boards.
Reese now has 1,231 career rebounds and is averaging 12.5 rebounds per game. At that current pace, she would need another 241 games to pass Charles’ career record.
