Iowa women's basketball star notches WNBA career points milestone

[RandySF]

It hasn't been the smoothest ride in the WNBA for Megan Gustafson, but the former Iowa center has made a nice career for herself.

Gustafson was a prolific scorer for the Hawkeyes, ending her career as the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,804 career points. Caitlin Clark would pass that mark a few years later, but Gustafson's legacy in Iowa City was already set.

Following her time at Iowa, Gustafson started her WNBA journey. She was taken in the second round of the 2019 draft by the Dallas Wings, where she spent two seasons. Over the next five years, she would bounce around from Washington to Phoenix and eventually Las Vegas, where she played a key bench role on the Aces' 2025 WNBA championship team

This past offseason, Gustafson parlayed that success in Las Vegas to a two-year deal with one of the league's newest teams, the Portland Fire. On Friday night, in the Fire's home loss to the Atlanta Dream, Gustafson eclipsed a marquee scoring milestone. She scored the 800th point of her WNBA career.

1. And she had one hell of a game Saturday night

against Caitlin and the Fever as Portland just demolished the Fever 100 to 84.

Gustafson went perfect from the field as she scored 22 in 28 minutes and played some hard core defense.
So glad to see her start and have a great game.
