What happened: Brittney Griner is now the WNBA's all-time leader in career blocks. She reached the milestone with her fourth rejection of the game, pushing her career total to 878 and moving to the top of the league's all-time list.

Why it matters: The record cements Griner's standing as one of the most dominant interior defenders the league has seen. Career block totals accumulate slowly and reward both longevity and elite rim protection, so reaching No. 1 reflects years of consistent two-way impact rather than a single hot stretch.

What to watch: Watch how far Griner extends the mark over the remainder of the 2026 season as she continues to add to the all-time record.
