Caitlin Clark reached 29 career double-doubles in 82 games during the 2026 WNBA regular season, adding another milestone to her early career record. The total ranks third among WNBA guards and reflects production that has extended beyond any single scoring performance.

What happened

Clark’s latest double-double raised her career total to 29 through 82 appearances. Her official career averages stand at 19.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, numbers that show the multiple ways she has consistently influenced games.

The milestone arrived during the 2026 regular season. With nearly one double-double for every three career appearances, Clark has built a record of combining categories often enough to place herself among the leading guards in league history by this measure.

Why it matters

The double-double total reinforces Clark’s value as both a scorer and a facilitator. Her career scoring average establishes a steady offensive foundation, while her 8.3 assists per game demonstrate that creating opportunities remains a central part of her production.

Earlier this month, she became the first player to average 29 points and nine assists over five games. That five-game benchmark captured a concentrated stretch of elite output, while the 29 career double-doubles show how often her multidimensional production has appeared across a much larger sample.

Together, the marks illustrate sustained offensive influence rather than reliance on one category. Clark’s ability to generate points while also accumulating assists has made double-doubles a recurring feature of her career through 82 games.

By the numbers

Clark has posted a double-double in 35.4% of her career appearances. That rate translates to one every 2.83 games, placing the frequency of the achievement in clear context.

Her 29 double-doubles across 82 games also provide a broader frame for her official averages of 19.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 8.3 assists. The figures align with a player whose production regularly spans scoring, rebounding and playmaking, with assists serving as a particularly prominent part of her statistical profile.

What to watch next

Clark’s next double-double would raise her career total to 30. It would also extend a pace that has already moved her into third place among WNBA guards despite a career sample of only 82 appearances.

The next benchmark is straightforward, but the larger measure will remain consistency. Each additional double-double will add to a career record already defined by the repeated combination of scoring and facilitation.
