In this exciting WNBA season, records are constantly being broken and new milestones are being reached. One such achievement was made by WNBA champion A'ja Wilson, who solidified her place as the Las Vegas Aces' all-time leading scorer in their recent game.
On July 7, the Aces faced the Dallas Wings and came out on top with a 104-85 victory. Wilson was a driving force in this win, scoring 28 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, which propelled her to surpass Sophia Young-Malcolm's record of 4,300 career points. With this win, the Aces improved their record to 13-7, while the Wings added another loss to their record, now at 5-17.
Wilson's outstanding performance not only secured her place as the Aces' top scorer, but also moved her up to 31st place on the WNBA's career rebound chart with a total of 1,854 rebounds. She is now just 53 rebounds away from reaching 30th place, currently held by Cheryl Ford. Additionally, Wilson's two blocked shots in this game bring her closer to taking over the 14th place on the WNBA's list, currently held by Tina Charles with 397 blocked shots.
ESPN also highlighted Wilson's impressive performance, reporting that she achieved her 11th double-double of the season with 10 rebounds. She also set a new WNBA record for most points scored in a 20-game span within a season with 540 points.
The Aces' victory against the Wings was their second time scoring over 100 points this season, setting a new season-high for points in a game. As they continue their quest for a third consecutive title, the Aces will face their next three games on the road. Their first stop will be in Seattle on July 10 to take on the Storm, followed by a game against the Dream in Atlanta on July 12. Their final game on this road trip will be against the Washington Mystics in the nation's capital on July 14.
In other exciting news, the WNBA has seen its highest attendance record in 26 years within the first month of this season. This just goes to show the immense popularity and growth of women's basketball, and we can't wait to see what other records and achievements will be made in the remainder of this WNBA season.
