Alyssa Thomas Sets WNBA Single-Season Triple-Double Record

Alyssa Thomas set a WNBA single-season record by recording her seventh triple-double during the Phoenix Mercury's 92-84 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. Thomas finished with 12 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists, becoming the first WNBA player to achieve at least 10 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists in a single game. Her performance helped Phoenix move into sole possession of fourth place in the league standings with a 23-14 record. The Mercury showcased balanced scoring with Satou Sabally leading with 19 points and strong bench contributions, while the Sparks were paced by Dearica Hamby's 25 points and Rickea Jackson's 21 points. Phoenix maintained control for much of the game, pulling away in the fourth quarter and highlighting their efficient offense with 28 assists on 33 made baskets. Thomas's dominance in triple-doubles is notable, as she has recorded six of her seven this season in August alone, breaking her own record from 2023.
