Rhyne Howard breaks Sabrina Ionescu's WNBA single-season 3-point record
Rhyne Howard drilled her 129th 3-pointer of the WNBA season, breaking a Sabrina Ionescu record.
Atlanta Dream's Rhyne Howard has broken the WNBA record for most 3-point shots made in a single season, hitting 129 during a game against the Connecticut Sun. The record previously belonged to Sabrina Ionescu, who achieved 128 in 36 games in 2023. Howard made her record-breaking shot at the 6:45 mark of the fourth quarter, celebrating with a hand-held "finally!" before her teammates showered her in 3-point celebrations.
The 26-year-old has been breaking records all season, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 triples in a season in 31 games, surpassing the previous record of 33 games shared with Diana Taurasi. Howard also became the youngest player in WNBA history to make 400 career 3-pointers on June 11, achieving the milestone in 147 games.
