What happened: Breanna Stewart hit a third-quarter free throw during 2026 WNBA Commissioner's Cup play to move past Angel McCoughtry (1,512) for fifth place on the WNBA's all-time free throws made list. The WNBA marked the milestone in real time as Stewart added to her career total at the charity stripe.

Why it matters: The mark continues a steady climb up the league's career leaderboards for one of its most decorated players and underscores Stewart's durability and volume at the line. It comes just days after Stewart passed Tina Thompson for sixth on the same list, signaling how quickly she is moving through the all-time rankings.

What to watch: Watch whether Stewart keeps closing on the next name ahead of her on the all-time free throw list as the Commissioner's Cup schedule continues.
