Now that the WNBA basketball season is underway, with more than a quarter of the games already off the calendar, it's time to examine the WNBA stats. Although standings do not measure individual player performance they can be used to make predictions based upon past history. You might be surprised at some of these numbers. Here are some of the most important stats from the WNBA.
Leslie played in WNBA
Leslie McLaughlin was one of the first women in the WNBA to invest in a team. She is a successful author, speaker, coach BIG3 and public speaker. Her success was achieved through innovation, consistency and perfection. Leslie has been an inspirational figure for basketball fans and all people. Leslie is a professional basketball player, as well as a model. She has also appeared in many commercials.
Sabrina Ionescu was the first WNBA player with a 30-point triple-double
Last season, Ionescu became the first player in WNBA history to score 30 points and record a triple-double. She was also the first WNBA player ever to record three consecutive double-doubles. She also rebuilt her strength to train for the 2022 season. Before training camp began, she had received an ankle injection and felt ready to play. She wasn't an rookie and was still getting to know her teammates.
Liberty is led by Kelsey Plum in assists per games
After a great season last season Kelsey Plum will lead the Liberty in assists per games this year. The 5-foot-8 guard has averaged 5.4 assists per game to lead the team. Her impressive stats are no surprise, as she leads all league players with 19.6 per game. She is actually tied for the league's lead in assists with Alyssa Tom. In her first appearance in the WNBA All-Star game, Plum earned MVP honors and set a record by hitting 12 threes.
Parker's injury history
The 14th overall selection in the draft of DeVante Parker, a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, was his rookie season. After injuring himself during a practice, he was out for half of the season. Parker required surgery to fix his foot and missed seven matches. His injury history was a significant problem, especially when he started his NFL career. Parker tore the scar tissue on his left foot from surgery, and missed three preseason games.
Standings for the WNBA
It's never too early to start looking at the WNBA standings. Six teams will participate in the playoffs which start on Aug. 17th. The Chicago Sky, and the Las Vegas Aces are already guaranteed the first two seeds. This leaves Dream, Mystics, Sun and Mystics in contention for the fourth and fifth seeds. In the mix are a number other teams, such as the New York Liberty, Dallas Wings and Los Angeles Sparks.
Ionescu's triple-double
Ionescu's tripledouble was a milestone for the WNBA. She scored 31 points, snatched 13 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists in the 116-98 victory over the Las Vegas Aces. It's impressive enough that her triple-double was not a mistake, but it is even more remarkable that she didn’t turnover a ball.
