Jovana Nogić prepared for a long time to step onto the biggest women’s basketball stage, only to show that she was born for the WNBA as soon as she stepped onto it. Shortly after her premiere, she reached the rookie scoring record in that statistical column of the overseas club championship.
Because no player before the captain of the Serbian national team, as an undrafted debutante, managed to score 27 points in a single game. She succeeded in doing so in the victory of her Phoenix Mercury over Chicago (91:83), and she also recorded four rebounds and two steals during her quarter for the history books, pride, and long memory.
Thus, the 28-year-old Belgrade native, with a Portuguese passport, drew attention to herself overnight and forced the American media to report in superlatives about the performances of our “she-eagle”. She did underperform in the match before this one (two points), but even that was to be expected, considering that she is still adapting to playing high-intensity matches all the time.
