A’ja Wilson Sets WNBA Record with First 30-20 Game

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson made WNBA history by becoming the first player to record a 30-point, 20-rebound game, scoring 32 points and grabbing 20 rebounds in a win over the Connecticut Sun. This milestone marked her 14th double-double of the season and 30th career 30-point game, highlighting her dominant and consistent performance as a three-time league MVP. Coach Becky Hammon praised Wilson's extraordinary work ethic and ability to overcome defensive pressure, noting that Wilson was usually limited from offensive rebounding opportunities but excelled in this game. The Aces have seen a resurgence after mid-season roster changes, with Wilson returning to top form and contributing significantly to their recent winning streak. Wilson expressed humility and passion for the game, emphasizing her love for basketball and excitement about making history. Her teammate Jackie Young also underscored Wilson's relentless effort and impact despite facing double and triple teams regularly.
