Alyssa Thomas recorded her third triple-double of the 2026 WNBA season Sunday, completing the milestone when a fourth-quarter basket pushed her scoring total into double figures. Thomas had already secured the other two components and reached an 11-point, 14-rebound, 10-assist line with the bucket.
What happened
Thomas entered the fourth quarter having done the bulk of the work required for the triple-double. Her 14 rebounds had moved her four beyond the necessary threshold, while her 10 assists put her exactly at the mark.
Scoring was the final category still short of double figures. The fourth-quarter basket lifted Thomas to at least 10 points, and her reported line stood at 11 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists after the milestone was completed.
Why it matters
The performance gave Thomas her third triple-double of 2026 and added another all-around result to her season record. It followed her first triple-double of the season, which she recorded on July 22.
The triple-double also capped a milestone-filled Sunday for Thomas. Earlier in the day, she reached the career benchmarks of 5,000 points, 3,000 rebounds and 2,000 assists, placing the latest single-game accomplishment alongside three broader statistical landmarks.
By the numbers
Thomas cleared the three triple-double requirements by narrow but distinct margins. She finished one point above 10 in scoring and four rebounds above 10 on the glass, while landing exactly on 10 assists.
That distribution underscores how the achievement came together. Her rebounding total provided the largest cushion, her assist count met the threshold without room to spare, and the fourth-quarter scoring play supplied the final category needed to complete the 11-14-10 line.
What to watch next
The final box score will establish Thomas’ complete statistical line and close the record on her third triple-double of the season. The game result will also provide the remaining context for how the milestone fit into Sunday’s outcome.
Until those details are complete, the defining sequence is clear: Thomas already had 14 rebounds and 10 assists before her fourth-quarter basket carried her into double figures in scoring. That play converted a strong all-around performance into another triple-double.
