Paige Bueckers lit up College Park Center in Arlington on Tuesday night with a historic performance.
The Dallas Wings star followed a 32-point eruption against the Seattle Storm with another brilliant all-around outing, posting 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 11 assists in a 96-78 win over the Portland Fire.
Her latest feat put her in rare company alongside Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Plum, sending the WNBA world into a frenzy.

With Tuesday’s masterclass, the sophomore guard reached 750 points and 200 assists in a single season. Only Clark and Plum had previously touched the milestone, with Clark doing so twice.
The NBA’s official X account highlighted Bueckers’ achievement, writing:
“CLARK, PLUM… AND NOW BUECKERS! Paige Bueckers joins Caitlin Clark (2x) and Kelsey Plum as the ONLY players in WNBA history to total 750+ PTS and 200+ AST in a single season 🔥.”

The latest milestone was only part of Bueckers’ statistical assault. According to Real App, she now owns the most games in a single WNBA season with at least 20 points, 10 assists and 1 or fewer turnovers.
The Wings star has also become the first player in franchise history to post 20 points and 10 assists while shooting at least 50% from the field, 40% from 3-point range, and 90% from the free-throw line.
Following Bueckers’ record-breaking performance against the Fire, her supporters flooded social media with praise.
“She is absolutely generational! To be in the same company as Clark and Plum in her rookie years is insane,” one Bueckers supporter gushed.

Bueckers’ latest performance came at a critical juncture for Dallas. The Wings have now won three straight games and improved to 23-16, officially clinching a spot in the 2026 WNBA playoffs.
The postseason return carries extra weight for the franchise. Dallas is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2023, ending a three-year wait. Bueckers has played a major role in that turnaround, leading the team with a career-best 20.6 points per game.
The Wings and Bueckers will return to action against the bottom-dwelling Connecticut Sun on Sunday. It will offer the 2025 Rookie of the Year another opportunity to build on her momentum before the playoff battle begins.
