A'ja Wilson Sets WNBA Scoring Record

A'ja Wilson made history by becoming the first player in WNBA history to score 1,000 points in a single season, achieving this milestone during the Las Vegas Aces' 84-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun. She reached the mark with a fadeaway jump shot, finishing the game with 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists. This achievement follows her recent breaking of the previous single-season scoring record held by Jewell Loyd. Wilson, who is averaging an impressive 27 points and 12.1 rebounds per game this season, has solidified her status as the favorite for the 2024 WNBA MVP award. While some fans speculate about the longevity of her record, especially with emerging talents like Caitlin Clark, Wilson's current performance cements her position as arguably the best player in the league. The Aces are poised for a strong playoff run, currently holding a one-game lead for the No. 4 seed.
