Coming into Thursday night, four previous WNBA rookies had recorded a game that included 25 points, five assists, five rebounds and five made 3-pointers in a game. That list featured Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Diana Taurasi.

Now, Aziaha James has added her name to that list.

Clark has done it three times while Ionescu, Stewart and Taurasi each did it once during their rookie campaigns.

James, a starter alongside Paige Bueckers, had 28 points with six rebounds, six assists and five made triples as the Wings topped the Phoenix Mercury, 98-89. She is averaging just under seven points per game with 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists, having made just four total 3-pointers in her last three games.
