Getting buckets is one thing, but making everyone around you look that good is quite another. These WNBA players performed passing clinics night after night this season, showcasing their court vision and selflessness. These ladies created magic rather than just plays, whether they were hurling flawless lobs, threading the needle, or providing no-look assists. The players who contributed the most assists in a single game this season (so far) are listed here, along with the positive energy they created!
1. Alyssa Thomas (Phoenix Mercury) – 15 Assists (vs Wings, Liberty & Sky)

Let’s be honest — AT is just built different. She’s not only topping this list, she’s doing it three times over. With 15 assists in three separate games, Alyssa is basically the engine of the Sun — triple-double queen, floor general, and hustle legend all rolled into one.
2. Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas Wings) – 14 Assists (vs Liberty)

We usually know Arike as a bucket-first kind of player, but this game? She flipped the script. With 14 dimes against the Liberty, she proved she’s just as deadly with the pass as she is with the pull-up. Killer instinct, unselfish heart.
3. Skylar Diggins (Seattle Storm) – 14 Assists (vs Mercury)

Skylar came back like she never left. 14 assists in a statement game against her former team? Say less. Oh, and she did it while also dropping a triple-double in 22 minutes. What?!
4. Courtney Williams (Minnesota Lynx) – 13 Assists (vs Liberty)

Swag, bounce, and a silky mid-range — Courtney also has some serious playmaking chops. 13 assists against a high-powered team like New York? That’s how you let everyone eat.
6. Alyssa Thomas (again!) – 13 Assists (vs Liberty)

Yes, this is her fourth appearance. Alyssa really said, “You want ball movement? I am the movement.” Connecticut’s offense basically runs through her brain and biceps.
7. Kelsey Plum (LA Sparks) – 12 Assists (vs Lynx)

Kelsey’s more than just a shooter — when she turns into Point Plum, defenders don’t know who to guard. Her 12-assist game was a masterclass in pace, spacing, and spicy delivery.
8. Veronica Burton (Golden State Valkyries) – 12 Assists (vs Aces)

Quiet but deadly, Burton slid into the mix and dropped 12 dimes against the defending champs. Cool-headed and composed, she let her play do all the talking.
