There are prolific and special seasons in the WNBA, and then there’s the year that the Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu’s enjoyed. From smaller but still impressive achievements like a country-mile three and a ridiculous buzzer-beater to a historic triple-double that already perfectly summarized her first All-Star campaign — Ionescu has earned the right to flex on her opponents.
The versatile and all-around efficient guard’s latest accomplishment might be her best yet. Better said: It’s one of the most noteworthy achievements in WNBA history. Early during the Liberty’s (-5) matchup with the Mercury on Saturday night, Ionescu became the first WNBA player to score over 500 points, log over 200 rebounds, and record over 200 assists … in one year.
