Riquna Williams is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on May 28, 1990 in Pahokee, Florida, United States. Riquna Bay Bay Williams, born May 28, 1990, is an American basketball player who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the Women’s National Basketball Association. She was a collegiate basketball player for the University of Miami Hurricanes, where she studied sports administration.
Williams was plagued by injuries in 2014. She missed 11 games and had to be removed from the team because of a knee injury.
Prior to the 2016 season, Williams was traded to the Los Angeles Sparks along with the sixth pick in the 2016 WNBA draft in exchange for Erin Phillips, the fifth pick in the 2016 WNBA draft and a first round draft pick in the 2017 WNBA draft. However, Williams suffered a ruptured left achilles tendon while playing in Dubai during the off-season. She required surgery that would keep her out for the entire 2016 season. Without Williams on the roster, the Sparks would still go on to win the 2016 WNBA Championship after defeating the Minnesota Lynx 3-2 in Finals.
During the 2017 season after recovering from her achilles injury, Williams was playing off the bench. On May 13, 2017, Williams recorded 1 rebound and 1 assist in 12 minutes of play in her Sparks debut. On June 18, 2017, Williams scored a season-high 15 points in a 90-59 victory over the Mercury. On August 6, 2017, Williams suffered a left knee strain during a game against the Dallas Wings and was listed as day-to-day missing a few games. The Sparks finished with a 26-8 record and the number 2 seed in the league, receiving a double-bye to the semi-finals. Williams would make her return from injury in Game 2 of the semi-finals against the Mercury, recording 1 rebound in 5 minutes of play. The Sparks would advance to the Finals for the second season in a row after defeating the Mercury in a 3-game sweep, setting up a rematch with the Lynx. However, the Sparks would lose in five games.
Williams had a great season in 2013, scoring an average of 15.6 points per match despite only playing in 6 of 27 games. Williams’ offensive performance was the best in WNBA history. She set the record for scoring 51 points in a game and then broke it by Liz Cambage, July 2018. Williams also tied the WNBA record of 8 three-point field goals per game. This record was broken by Kristi Toliver, who won the 98-65 victory over the San Antonio Silver Stars. She would be named the 2013 WNBA Sixth Woman of the year after that performance.
