A’ja Wilson First WNBA Player Records 30-Point 20-Rebound Game

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson made WNBA history by becoming the first player to record a 30-point, 20-rebound double-double, finishing with 32 points, 20 rebounds, five assists, and two steals in a 94-86 win over the Connecticut Sun. The three-time WNBA MVP marked her 30th career game with at least 30 points, tying her for third all-time, and added another milestone as the first player with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, and five assists in a single game. Despite dealing with a wrist injury and concussion protocol earlier this season, Wilson’s dominant performance helped the Aces secure their fourth straight win and improve to 18-14 in the standings. Aces coach Becky Hammon expressed surprise that Wilson had not achieved such a feat before, noting that recent emphasis on offensive rebounding contributed to the historic game. Wilson acknowledged the significance of the achievement and expressed hope that many others would follow, reaffirming her passion for basketball. The Aces look to continue their momentum in their upcoming game against the defending champion New York Liberty.
