Season in Review: Tina Charles

Veteran forward and Queens native Tina Charles averaged 16.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, making her the league’s sixth overall leading scorer. Charles also earned her 7th WNBA All Star selection during the 2019 season.

In her tenth WNBA season, Charles made several records for the franchise and the league. She became the Liberty’s all-time leading scorer back in June, passing Vickie Johnson for the top spot in franchise history. Additionally, she moved up to number 11 on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list and number five on the league’s all-time rebounding list.

In 2019, Charles played and started in 33 games. The Liberty’s all-time scoring leader was foundational for New York on both sides of the ball, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, which ranks ninth in the WNBA’s 2019 regular season.

Tina scored a season-high 32 points during the team’s home opener against the Indiana Fever on May 24. She finished 2019 with five double-doubles and fourteen 20-point plus games.
