On September 12th, 2020, Jewell Loyd made history by breaking the WNBA single-season scoring record in the Seattle Storm’s final game of the season. Loyd scored a total of 876 points throughout the season, surpassing the previous record of 868 points set by Diana Taurasi in 2006.
Loyd’s record-breaking performance was a fitting end to an incredible season for the Seattle Storm. The team finished with a 26-8 record, the best in the WNBA, and earned the top seed in the playoffs. Loyd was a major contributor to the team’s success, averaging 20.5 points per game and shooting 45.3% from the field.
Loyd’s record-breaking performance was also a testament to her hard work and dedication. She has been a consistent force in the WNBA since she was drafted in 2015, and this season was no exception. She was named to the All-WNBA First Team for the third time in her career and was also selected to the All-Star Game for the fifth time.
Loyd’s record-breaking performance is an impressive accomplishment that will be remembered for years to come. She has cemented her place in WNBA history and is an inspiration to young players everywhere. Her hard work and dedication have paid off, and she is well-deserving of this honor. Congratulations to Jewell Loyd on breaking the WNBA single-season scoring record!
