Overview
- Stewart moved past Candace Parker during the third quarter of Thursday's game in Las Vegas and finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds in a 104-99 loss to the Aces.
- Candace Parker was courtside and commentating when Stewart broke the mark and joked on air that Stewart “made sure I was courtside for it.”
- Media coverage published differing career-point totals for Stewart after the game — examples include 6,575, 6,576 and 6,588 — so the official WNBA boxscore and league statistics should be used to confirm the exact tally.
- Stewart has played about 320 career games compared with Parker's roughly 410 and is on pace this season to average more than 20 points, a profile that analysts say could allow her to climb higher on the all-time list.
- The updated leaderboard keeps Diana Taurasi at the top and places Stewart among the league's all-time scorers, a development that bolsters her Hall of Fame case and matters for the Liberty as they pursue playoff seeding with remaining regular-season games ahead.
