  • Through 33 games, she is averaging 18.9 points, 5.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals on 46.7% from the field and 33% from three.
  • Her rookie highlights include tying the single-game rookie scoring record with 44 points and becoming the fastest to 500+ points and 150+ assists.
  • Dallas has dropped to 9-32 with three games remaining, ending postseason hopes despite Bueckers’ consistent production.
