Marina Mabrey made WNBA history by tying the most points scored in a single game. She drew a lot of attention for her performance, including former teammate Angel Reese's. The two-time All-Star center shared her reaction on X.
Mabrey scored 53 points, built on nine three-pointers, against the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. The veteran guard added six rebounds and two assists, while shooting 17-of-28 from the field.
Her dominant outing led the Toronto Tempo to a 125-97 win and tied the WNBA scoring mark that A'ja Wilson and Liz Cambage set. She also achieved a +36 on the night.
Reese jokingly said that Mabrey proved her worth and could ride her Rolls-Royce. The phrase "RR" went viral as a nod to the luxury car and her on-court dominance, famously dubbed "Rippin Rebounds." Her post was also in reference to a previous playful exchange they had.
"yeah i guess Marina deserves a ride in the RR 😭🔥" the Atlanta Dream star posted on X.
Interestingly, the Sparks selected Mabrey as the No. 19 pick in 2019. She has since bounced around the league, suiting up for the Dallas Wings, Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun. The Tempo selected the 29-year-old sixth overall in the 2026 expansion draft.
Mabrey's career game could be what she needs to perform more consistently as the season progresses. She is averaging 19.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
Toronto stands at 9-9 for the season and has a chance to make the playoffs in its debut campaign. Mabrey will be key to the team's success as she's one of its leaders and best players.
