A new record to register on the hunting board of Breanna Stewart. Last night, the New York Libery player scored 40 points against the Dallas Wings, to bring her total to 885 units in 2023. In other words, a new record for a WNBA season!
” It means a lot », reacted the 29-year-old winger, the main architect of her team’s seventh consecutive victory. ” As soon as I’m placed in the spotlight with [Diana Taurasi], it’s a huge honor. I can kinda wave it over her head [rires]. I really appreciate everything I’ve been able to accomplish and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my teammates. »
Before Marine Johannès’ teammate overtook her, it was the illustrious Diana Taurasi who held, since 2006, the record for points scored in a campaign (860). The difference being that Diana Taurasi only needed 34 games to reach such a total, against already 38 for Breanna Stewart.
The consequence of the extension of the WNBA season, the duration of which is no longer 34, but 40 games now.
