Week 7 of the WNBA calendar was one filled with season highs for Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball stars Kia Nurse, Isabelle Harrison, Elizabeth Williams and Bria Hartley.

Nurse had her most productive week of the season, putting up back-to-back double-figure outings for the Chicago Sky. The veteran guard dropped a season-high 17 points in Friday’s loss to the Golden State Valkyries, adding four rebounds and three assists—her highest scoring performance since May of last year. 

She followed it up with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including 3-of-5 from deep, in Sunday’s 92-85 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. Nurse also chipped in two rebounds in her 23 minutes on the hardwood. Over her last two games, she’s averaging 15.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.0 made threes, marking the first time this season she’s hit double digits in consecutive outings.

Elizabeth Williams (Chicago Sky)

Nurse’s teammate, Elizabeth Williams, continued to anchor the Sky’s interior in Sunday’s win, finishing with 12 points and a season-high nine rebounds. She also matched her season bests with three steals and two blocks, rounding out one of her most complete performances of the year.

Bria Hartley (Connecticut Sun)

Hartley turned in her best performance of the season in Friday’s 97-81 loss to the Seattle Storm. She scored 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting (3-for-6 from beyond the arc), while adding four rebounds, six assists, and a steal in 31 minutes of action. It was her highest scoring game since a 24-point effort in August 2020 and ranked second among Sun scorers on the night.

Kierstan Bell (Las Vegas Aces)

Bell matched her season high with eight points in a win over the Connecticut Sun. She added four rebounds, one steal, and one block, continuing to bring energy and production off the bench for the Aces.

Isabelle Harrison (New York Liberty)

Harrison had a strong weekend, beginning with a season-high 10 points and five rebounds in just 15 minutes during Friday’s loss to Phoenix. On Sunday against Atlanta, she saw a season-best 21 minutes and contributed eight points, six rebounds, and two assists. She’s averaged 9.0 points and 5.5 boards across her last two games.
