Kelsey Plum was on an absolute tear for the Aces during Sunday’s win over the Lynx. The 28-year-old dropped 40 points as Las Vegas improved to 17–2 on the year, becoming the first player in franchise history to score 40 in a single game.
Additionally, her remarkable 77.8% field goal percentage was the best in WNBA history during a 40-point outing, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
Plum was red hot from all over the court, knocking down 14-of-18 field goal attempts, including 6-of-9 three-pointers. The 40 points are the highest tally of her career. Prior to her 40-point outing, Plum’s previous season high in scoring was 26 points.
