Marina Mabrey Ties WNBA Scoring Record With 53-Point Explosion
June 25, 2026
Marina Mabrey set the WNBA record book on fire on June 25 with a 53-point night for the Toronto Tempo in a 125-97 win over the Los Angeles Sparks.
The line was as efficient as it was historic: 17-of-28 from the field, 9-of-18 from three, and 10-of-12 at the free-throw line. Her nine made threes also tied the single-game record, putting her in the same company as Chelsea Gray and Rhyne Howard. The 53 points tied Mabrey with A'ja Wilson and Liz Cambage for the most points ever scored in a single WNBA game.
Mabrey added 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 32 minutes, while teammate Julie Allemand chipped in 13 points and 14 assists in what became the highest-scoring game in the Tempo's short franchise history. Nneka Ogwumike and Dearica Hamby led Los Angeles with 21 points apiece, but it wasn't close to enough.
The performance capped a strong first half of the season for Mabrey in her first year with Toronto, and it played a real role in her earning her first career All-Star selection the following month. It's also a reminder of how much depth of talent this league now has — a 53-point night from a player on a first-year expansion franchise, tying two of the most dominant scorers in league history, says as much about where the WNBA is right now as it does about Mabrey's night.
Final: Toronto 125, Los Angeles 97
