A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces set a new WNBA single-season scoring record during her team’s 86-75 win over the Indiana Fever. Wilson broke the record in the second quarter, surpassing Jewell Loyd’s previous mark of 939 points. She finished the game with 27 points and 12 rebounds, bringing her season total to 956 points. With four games left, Wilson is on track to be the first player in WNBA history to surpass 1,000 points in a season.

Last night, the Las Vegas Aces defeated the Indiana Fever with an 86-75 victory on the road. A’ja Wilson helped lead the Aces to victory with her 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks performance. There was uncertainty whether or not the Aces star would return last night due to missing the previous game against the New York Liberty.

As most of us know, Wilson is putting together one of the most incredible seasons in WNBA history, and it will likely be capped off with the third Most Valuable Player Award in her career. She also won the award back in 2020 and 2022. This season is different though. At the age of 28, Wilson has stamped her name into the WNBA record books.

Going into last night’s game, Wilson needed only 11 points to set the record for points scored in a single season in the WNBA (previously set by Jewell Lloyd with 939 points in 2023). By halftime, Wilson had already scored 12 points and surpassed that record. It’s a testament to what kind of season she has been having.
