Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson made WNBA history in stunning fashion Wednesday night, breaking the league’s single-season scoring record. As the Aces took on the Indiana Fever, Wilson surpassed Seattle Storm’s Jewell Loyd’s previous record of 941 points with ease.
It took Wilson just the first half to score the 12 points she needed to break the record, further solidifying her already legendary status in the WNBA. Her dominance on the court has been unmatched this season, and it’s no surprise she’s in prime position to claim yet another MVP title.
With each game, Wilson continues to showcase why she’s the most dominant player in the sport. Her ability to consistently bring excellence to the court makes her an undeniable force in the league.
Mission Complete, History Made 🗣️
