Miles was one of the top performers in the league and has cemented herself as one of the best rookies in history.
She managed 790 points in 2026, which is a new rookie-season record, surpassing the previous total of 769 that was set by Indiana Fever ace Caitlin Clark in 2024.
Miles also managed 239 assists for the Lynx in the most recent campaign. She failed to surpass record holder Clark in that area (337) but she still managed to secure the second-most assists of any rookie ever in the WNBA.
Now, Miles has taken to Instagram to pen a message about her ‘special’ first year in the league.
She wrote: “Finally had the time to realise what the f*** happened this year…
“So grateful for the mems, the belief, the love. My circle continues to fuel me and Minnesota welcomed me with such open arms.
“I learned a ton – to appreciate the triumphs and failures wholeheartedly. They provide meaning in all of this. But more importantly, to have unwavering faith in my vision. What a special way to spend year 1… can’t wait for the bee hive.”
Miles’ Lynx finished first in the WNBA regular season but they failed to make the Finals on this occasion.
They lost 2-0 to the New York Liberty in the first round of the playoffs, with Miles scoring 16 points across both games.
