Jackie Young (17.3 ppg), stands as league seventh-best 90.3% from the line. Young was also announced as a WNBA All-Star reserve, and is set to compete in her fourth consecutive WNBA All-Star Game after earning nods over the last three years as a member of the U.S. Olympic Team. She also races closer to a benchmark, with 21 points standing between her and 3,000 points, making her the fifth player in WNBA history to reach that goal.
Chelsea Gray (13.2 ppg) and Jewell Loyd (10.8 ppg) complete the Aces’ double-digit scorers. Ranked seventh with 1,702 assists, Gray needs seven more to move into number six. With only seven more points needed to reach her 100th career point, Aaliyah Nye also nears a milestone.
