With Sabrina Ionescu, their generational talent, racking up the franchise’s first ever triple-double, the New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx Tuesday, 86-75 and now sit atop the WNBA standings with a 3-0 record, their best start since 2007. In doing so, the Liberty also surpassed their win total in last year’s “wubble.”
In only her sixth career WNBA game, former No. 1 overall pick, Ionescu notched her first career triple-double, and the first ever in the Liberty’s 25-year history, 26 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Moreover, it was only the ninth triple double in league history and Ionescu became the youngest WNBA player to put up a trip dub.
