Aces star Wilson breaks WNBA single-season scoring record
A'ja Wilson now stands alone as the WNBA's leader for points scored in a single season.
The Las Vegas Aces star scored her 941st point late in the first half of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Fever to establish a new WNBA single-season scoring record.
Wilson arrived in Indiana 11 points shy of the record, and broke the mark of 939 points set by Jewell Lloyd in 2023 with a jumper from the free throw line with 26.4 seconds left in the second quarter.
Lloyd's scoring mark came in 38 games, while Wilson was appearing in her 35th game of the season on Wednesday.
Wilson has plenty of opportunities to add to her scoring record, as Las Vegas still has four regular-season games scheduled.
The two-time league MVP came into the game averaging 27.3 points and 11.9 rebounds and went into half-time with 12 points and eight boards.
