Las Vegas Aces superstar A’Ja Wilson made absolutely stunning WNBA history on Wednesday night.
As her team faced the Indiana Fever on the road, Wilson broke the WNBA single-season scoring record with 941 points, previously held by Seattle Storm superstar Jewell Loyd.
During the game’s first half, Wilson had no trouble scoring the 12 points necessary to break the record and further cement her incredible legacy in the league.
Wilson should walk away with yet another WNBA MVP honor at the end of the season, and how could she not?
She’s the most dominant player in the sport, and she’s going to keep bringing excellence to the court whenever she plays.
Mission Complete, History Made 🗣️

Right after she broke the record, Wilson also got a really cool shoutout from her South Carolina coach, Dawn Staley.
Giving @_ajawilson22 her flowers for breaking the single season scoring record for most points in a @WNBA season…..when the love comes from love and loved ones it’s fulfilling enough!
