One of the brightest stars in the WNBA, Breanna Stewart has made a habit of breaking records. And obviously, she does not intend to stop there. Last night, the New York Liberty star simply became the WNBA’s leading single-season scorer.
Breaking a record held by the legendary Diana Taurasi is reserved for the elite. And Breanna Stewart is one of them.
By planting 40 points in Tuesday’s New York Liberty win over the Dallas Wings, Stewart set a new WNBA season-high record for points scored. Breanna is now at 885 in 38 games, while Taurasi stopped at 861 in 2006 (in 34 games, the WNBA season being shorter at the time). Stewart now has two more regular season games to increase the lead.
Breanna Stewart went OFF tonight ????

In addition to this prestigious record, Breanna Stewart also set others yesterday. Because yes, she is like that Breanna, she likes to make history. The Liberty star had his third 40-point – 10 rebound game of the season (and career), a WNBA all-time record. She is now also four career 40-point performances (all achieved this season), once more a WNBA record that she shares with … Diana Taurasi.
“It means a lot. Every time I share the spotlight with her (Diana Taurasi, editor’s note), it’s a great honor. This record is something I might remind him of from time to time. (laughs)”
– Breanna Stewart
Always in the radius of the records, know that Alyssa Thomas also made history yesterday. The Connecticut Sun player broke the WNBA record for most assists in a season (304), and became the first player to finish a game with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals.
