What happened: Mitchell crossed the threshold during the 2026 regular season. The milestone extends a year in which she earned her fourth straight All-Star selection and first voted starting spot.
Why it matters: Her scoring volume has pushed the franchise benchmark beyond its previous limit. With the regular season still active, each remaining game can raise the final mark.
By the numbers: Mitchell averaged 24.1 points through her first 37 games, totaling 891. She also recorded 21 consecutive 20-point games, breaking the previous WNBA mark of 20.
What to watch: Mitchell's final scoring total and the duration of her 20-point streak are the next markers to watch.
