Marina Mabrey Named She Got Game® Player of the Week After Historic 53-Point Masterpiece
Some performances are unforgettable. Others become part of league history.
Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey delivered one of the greatest offensive games the WNBA has ever seen this week, erupting for 53 points to tie the league's all-time single-game scoring record. The historic performance not only powered Toronto to a convincing victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, it instantly placed Mabrey alongside two of the game's most dominant scorers—A'ja Wilson and Liz Cambage—as the only players ever to reach the 53-point mark in a WNBA game.
The performance showcased everything that has earned Mabrey the nickname "Money Mabrey."
She scored from virtually every spot on the floor, finishing 17-for-28 from the field while knocking down nine three-pointers and converting 10 of her 12 free throws. Her nine made three-pointers also matched the WNBA single-game record, demonstrating the elite shooting touch that has defined her career. Toronto rolled to a 125-97 victory as fans inside Coca-Cola Coliseum rose to celebrate a night that will be remembered for years. During the closing minutes, the crowd even urged the Tempo coaching staff to send Mabrey back into the game for a chance to break the record outright.
Mabrey's path to this moment has been anything but easy.
A standout at Notre Dame, she helped lead the Fighting Irish to a national championship before entering the WNBA in 2019. Throughout her professional career, Mabrey has built a reputation as one of the league's most fearless competitors—a player capable of stretching defenses well beyond the three-point line while never shying away from the biggest moments.
This season with the expansion Toronto Tempo, she has elevated her game even further. As injuries forced Toronto to lean more heavily on its veteran guard, Mabrey embraced the responsibility, delivering one of the finest scoring displays in league history when her team needed it most.
What made the performance especially impressive was its efficiency. Rather than relying solely on volume shooting, Mabrey attacked at all three levels—finishing at the rim, knocking down mid-range jumpers and burying three-pointer after three-pointer. By the final buzzer, she had tied one of the most celebrated individual records in women's professional basketball while helping establish the Tempo as one of the WNBA's most exciting young franchises.
Historic nights like this don't happen often. They become the performances fans talk about years later whenever the conversation turns to the greatest scoring explosions the league has ever witnessed.
For rewriting the record book and reminding the basketball world exactly why she's known as "Money Mabrey," Marina Mabrey is this week's She Got Game® Player of the Week.
