WNBA's Mabrey Scores 53 Points Against LA, Tying Single-Game Record

Marina Mabrey, a guard for the WNBA's Toronto Tempo, poured in 53 points against the Los Angeles Sparks, featuring Park Ji-hyun, tying the record for the most points scored in a single game.

In the regular season home game held today, June 26, at the Coca-Cola Coliseum in Ontario, Canada, Mabrey led her team to a 125-97 blowout victory, hitting nine three-pointers as part of her 53-point performance.

Mabrey's total ties the single-game scoring record previously set by Liz Cambage (then with Dallas) in 2018 and A'ja Wilson (Las Vegas) in 2023.

"We don't have a scoreboard in our arena that shows stats, so I didn't know what I was doing," Mabrey said.

She only realized she was approaching the record after her sister, who was in the stands, told her she was three points away.

When Mabrey attempted to sub out with one minute remaining in the game, fans booed, signaling their desire for her to stay on the court.

Returning to the floor, Mabrey attempted two more three-pointers, but both missed, preventing her from setting a new single-game scoring record.

LA's Park Ji-hyun played 19 minutes in the game, recording 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.
