Isabelle Harrison’s WNBA Stats Surge in Breakout Stretch for New York Liberty
Week 13 of WNBA play was filled with season-best performances for the Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball athletes across the league. They made their presence known with double-doubles, season highs, and some serious impact performances.
Isabelle Harrison is making the most of her minutes in New York, and in return, her role is expanding. Here’s a look at how she and the rest of the AU standouts performed across the league.
Harrison’s stats jumped off the page as she capped off July with her best game of the season, scoring 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting, plus two rebounds, two assists, and a steal in a win over Minnesota.
That performance came two days after a 10-point effort against Connecticut, marking her first set of back-to-back double-digit games since her move to New York. Over her last five games, she’s averaged 7.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 13.8 minutes, and her playing time has climbed over the past month, giving her more opportunities to contribute.
With her recent offensive output, she’s making a strong case for consistent minutes in the Liberty’s frontcourt rotation.
Bria Hartley – Connecticut Sun
Bria Hartley added another solid performance to her stretch of steady play with 12 points, three rebounds, four assists, and two steals in Sunday’s loss to New York.
She’s now scored in double figures in seven of her last 10 appearances, continuing to provide a spark off the bench for the Sun.
Kia Nurse – Chicago Sky
Kia Nurse had a well-rounded showing to open August, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds, and a season-high seven assists against the Valkeries. The seven dimes were her most in a single game since September 2020.
Maya Caldwell – Atlanta Dream
Maya Caldwell posted season highs in back-to-back games this week, first dropping 13 points, one rebound, one assist, and one steal in a win over Dallas. Then, she followed it with a 14-point, 7-rebound, 4-assist, 1-steal, 1-block stat line in Atlanta’s victory over Phoenix.
Caldwell’s minutes have steadily increased — she’s averaged 22.6 minutes per game over the last 30 days, compared to just 8.1 minutes in the previous 30-day stretch.
