Temeka Johnson (13 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists) (July 24, 2014)
After 2005, there was a nearly nine-year gulf without another triple-double, despite several near-misses with double-doubles and eight or nine assists.
Starting in the place of the injured Sue Bird, Johnson had a big game for the Seattle Storm, who were in the middle of a rough patch. After the Liberty forced overtime, Johnson added a pair of rebounds for 10 total, to give her the league’s fifth regular season triple-double.
The Storm went on to lose the Liberty 84-80 in overtime, making Johnson the first player with a triple-double in a loss. At 5-foot-3, she is still the shortest player in WNBA history on this exclusive list.
