A record night for New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu proved just why Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is the overwhelming favorite for WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has been mentioned in the Rookie of the Year debate yet again, but it’s not because of any recent accomplishment of hers. In fact, it’s because of another WNBA star’s big night. New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, who was the first overall pick in the 2020 WNBA draft, posted big numbers in the team’s final game before the WNBA’s month-long break ahead of the Summer Olympics in Paris.
Her six 3-pointers tied her season-high and extended her regular-season streak of at least one 3-pointer to 50, making hers the third-longest streak in league history. Ionescu’s 30 points, six rebounds, and five assists, six 3-pointers and two steals for the night also put her in rare company. According to the X account StatMamba, she joins Caitlin Clark as the only players this season to reach those numbers in a single game.
