Reeve slams All-Star snub after McBride's record night
10 Aug
Summary
- McBride scored career-high 43 points with 10 made threes.
- She broke the single-game record for three-pointers made.
- McBride surpassed Seimone Augustus on the all-time scoring list.
Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve publicly criticized the WNBA's decision to exclude Kayla McBride from the All-Star Game roster, especially after her record-breaking performance on August 9. McBride achieved a career-high 43 points, making 10 of 14 three-point attempts in a dominant display against the Dallas Wings.
Reeve labeled the omission "disgraceful," emphasizing McBride's status as an All-WNBA player. McBride's historic scoring output also allowed her to surpass Lynx icon Seimone Augustus on the all-time scoring list, moving into 18th place with 6,013 career points. This remarkable game occurred as the Lynx continued their dominant season, holding a league-leading 27-7 record.
Despite being the team's second-leading scorer and leading the league in minutes played, McBride was not selected for the All-Star team. This selection controversy comes as the Lynx have won 12 of their last 13 games, showcasing their formidable team performance.
