A’ja Wilson (42 Points) Adds to Historic WNBA Season in Aces’ Loss to Wings (93-90)

The Wings pulled out a close one against the Aces Tuesday night in Dallas (93-90), but A’ja Wilson’s 42-point performance added another rewrite to the WNBA history books. Wilson was 16-for-22 from the field with 10 free throws to notch her third career 40-point game. That alone put her in elite company with just three other WNBA legends — Breanna Stewart (3), Maya Moore (3) and Diana Taurasi (4). The crazy part? It was Wilson’s second 40-point game this season. All three of Stewart’s 40-point nights took place this summer, too, making 2024 a historic campaign for the WNBA.

The WNBA’s 40-Point Boom

Stewart and Wilson’s combined five 40-point games in 2024 matches the WNBA’s record for most in a single season, but six other players have logged a 40-piece this year. The ‘W’ has doubled its previous 40-point mark. And there’s still plenty of basketball left.

A’ja Wilson’s Scoring Chase

Wilson is on pace to shatter the WNBA’s single-season scoring mark. She’s pace for 1,030 points, almost 100 more than the previous record of 939 (Jewell Loyd). And while that’s not surprising given the WNBA’s increased season length in 2024, Wilson’s points-per-game average of 27.1 would break the WNBA record by nearly two full points (Taurasi: 25.3 ppg — 2006).
