Assist Milestone for Bird

Posted on Saturday, June 19th, 2010 at 11:42 pm by Kevin Pelton

Lost in the excitement of Brian Agler’s 100th career WNBA win on Friday was that Sue Bird also reached an important milestone, handing out her 1,500th career assist. Bird, who leads the league by averaging 6.5 assists per game and has averaged 5.6 over the course of her career, is just the second player in WNBA history to reach 1,500 assists. Ticha Penicheiro, the league’s all-time leader with 2,218 assists, is the only player ahead of Bird.

Of course, Bird hit the milestone in style during a 22-point, 10-assist double-double in the win over the Liberty.
