Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu Becomes First WNBA Player With 500/200/200 Season

It only took two possessions in Saturday’s game between the Liberty and Mercury before Sabrina Ionescu tossed an assist and made WNBA history. The No. 1 pick in 2020, Ionescu became the first player ever to record 500 points, 200 rebounds and 200 assists in a single season. The 24-year-old did it with four games to spare. The game itself told a different story as the Mercury won (76-62) and jumped New York in the battle for the eighth and final playoff spot. Only one week remains in the WNBA season, but Ionescu has certainly lived up to the hype.
