It’s simply the fastest triple-double in WNBA history, and the first with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds! It is signed Alyssa Thomas, Connecticut Sun winger. In the victory of hers (79-69) against Minnesota, she accumulated 21 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists, and she already had her triple-double in her pocket 92 seconds from the end of the 3rd quarter.
Female version of Oscar Robertson or Russell Westbrook, the winger has two triple-doubles in a row for the 3rd time in her career, and she holds the three fastest triple-doubles in WNBA history!
“The last game, I missed a lot of shots, and I was furious with myself” she reacted. “But tonight, I was really focused, I wanted to attack the circle and make contact. »
The competition is far behind
Her season is all the more spectacular as the Sun star recovered from a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2021 which kept her away from the courts for the majority of the season. ” Before this injury, I thought I was playing very well and unfortunately I had this injury… But I worked so hard to get back to the level I had set for myself. I have to thank my teammates. I will keep repeating it, without their ability to take their shots, I could not have a triple-double. »
Before Thomas, the Hall of famer Lisa Leslie was the only player to score a triple-double with at least 15 points and 15 rebounds, but the Sun player has now set the bar high. Moreover, Thomas took off in the career triple-double standings with 9, including 5 this season alone! In history, no other player has done better than 4 triple-doubles…
