A’Ja Makes History: First WNBA Player to Score 1,000 Points in a Season.

A’ja Wilson just made history as the first player in WNBA history to score 1,000 points in a single season! She achieved this incredible milestone while leading the Las Vegas Aces to an 84-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun, scoring 29 points and grabbing nine rebounds. This record-breaking season isn’t surprising, given Wilson’s impressive performance throughout the year, averaging 27 points and 12.1 rebounds per game.

Wilson’s record-breaking shot was a fadeaway jumper in the fourth quarter, and it’s clear that she’s the best player in the league right now. She’s on track to win her third MVP award, and her dominance on the court is undeniable. What’s more impressive is that she achieved this milestone despite taking a break to lead Team USA to gold at the Paris Olympics.

It’s worth noting that the WNBA’s expanded schedule from 34 to 40 games contributed to Wilson’s ability to break this record. However, her impressive performance would have likely broken Diana Taurasi’s previous record of 860 points even without the extra games. Wilson’s achievement is a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport.
