Minnesota Lynx Rebekkah Brunson became the WNBA’s all-time leader in rebounding as she grabbed 12 boards to help Minnesota beat the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday.
Brunson passed Lisa Leslie (3,307) early in the game, and then passed Tamika Catchings (3,316) when she grabbed Candace Parker’s missed 3-pointer with 7:17 left in the fourth quarter of action.
Brunson added 15 points for her 82nd career double-double and received a standing ovation for her milestone achievement.
Her 82nd career down put her ahead of Yolanda Griffith for 6th all-time in league history.
