There are several records held at the league by women including Sabrina Ionescu’s three-double, Sue Bird’s double–double record, Liz Cambage’s scoring record, as well as Liz Cambage’s scoring mark. Candice Parker can also be found in the career statistics.
Sabrina Ionescu's triple double
Sabrina Ionescu is the only woman to have a career triple-double record. As a college athlete, she averaged 17.2 minutes, 7.5 boards, and 6.25 assists. She won this record in midway through her third season, after only playing three games as a rookie because of an ankle injury.
Ionescu's first-half performance was slightly below her triple double mark. Her second half performance was great. The New York Liberty improved their record to 9-12 with her 24 points and eight rebound assists. They are now within half a game in the playoffs.
Sue Bird's double double
Sue Bird, Seattle Storm Guard, established the WNBA record of career assists with 2,600. Bird's Friday night double-double against Las Vegas Aces was one in league history. Ticha Penicheiro was the previous holder of the record. Bird, a 30-year veteran, passed her with a transition 3-pointer. The Seattle Storm led by eight points with 1:50 remaining, and Bird broke her own record with a 3-pointer assisted by her teammate, Breanna Stewart.
Sue Bird's basketball legacy is second only Kareem AbdulJabbar's. In two decades, she played with the Seattle Storm, won four championships and 13 All-Star games, and is the only WNBA player to reach 500 career games. Bird won five consecutive Olympic golds medals.
