Megan Gustafson Reaches 800 WNBA Points with Perfect Shooting Night

The former Iowa star continues to shine, delivering a flawless 22‑point performance for the Portland Fire

A Perfect Shooting Night

Megan Gustafson, the former Iowa Hawkeyes standout, marked a milestone in her WNBA career this past Friday, registering her 800th professional point while continuing to average a career‑high 10.4 points per game.

The very next day she turned in a career‑best performance, pouring in 22 points without a single miss from the field and guiding the Portland Fire to a 100‑84 victory over the Indiana Fever.

That flawless outing placed her among an elite group, becoming only the 15th player in league history to score at least 20 points in a game while shooting perfectly.

Her 22 points rank as the second‑highest single‑game total of her professional tenure, trailing only the 24 points she posted for Las Vegas in 2024, and underscore her consistency across eight seasons and five different franchises.

Looking ahead, the Fire are set to face the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday night in a Commissioner’s Cup showdown, a matchup that could further highlight Gustafson’s resurgence.
