Chicago Sky's Candace Parker, 36, oldest WNBA player to log triple-double

play

On Sunday, she became the oldest player in the history of the WNBA to record a triple-double, and she has always prided herself in being a post player.

In the Sky's win at Washington, the 36 year old had 16 points, 13 rebound and 10 assists.

The Sky moved to 3-2 overall and became the third player in league history to have more than one triple-double. She was joined by two other people, a guard and a forward.

In their cases, one of the triple-doubles was in the regular season and the other in the playoffs. The first time she played in the regular season was in July of last year.

Swoopes was the oldest player to record a triple-double in the NBA when she did it at the age of 34. Swoopes was a three-time winner of the award.

It means a lot to be in the company of Sloot, who is going to end her career probably leading the league in assists, and then Swoopes.

I hope that coaches are watching because I have always been the person who was like that. I hope the game is getting better. We are going to see more triple-doubles.

The Sky were on their way to the first championship in franchise history when Vandersloot got her second career triple-double in the playoffs. Her first year of existence was in 2018?

On Sunday, Vandersloot was aware that he was one assist away from the milestone. The 10th assist came with just 21.2 seconds left, when Vandersloot called her own number to make the basket.

She told me to pass to her and she was going to make the layup. I love this group because of that. We play for one another, we get excited for others successes, and we celebrate.

James Wade said it was a special moment. The chemistry between those two is amazing. It was a tough layup forCourtney. I appreciate coaching both of them.

The Sky celebrated the return of guard/forward Kahleah Copper, who played her first game of the season after recently winning the Spanish League championship, while also celebrating the triple-double of guard/forward TonyPress.

The most Valuable Player of the last season had 12 points and four assists.
