WNBA single-season scoring record: Aces star A'ja Wilson surpasses Jewell Loyd
Wilson passed Loyd in the second quarter against the Fever on Wednesday
By Jack Maloney • 2 min readLas Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson's historic career continued on Wednesday night when she broke the WNBA's all-time single-season scoring record. Wilson now has 956 points this summer, breaking Jewell Loyd's mark of 939, which she set in 2023. Soon, Wilson will become the first player to have a 1,000-point season, which is possible as a result of the league extending the regular season to 40 games.
"It's a blessing, it really is," Wilson said. "It's something that I don't take for granted. I mean we have some phenomenal players in this league, so for my name to be on the list is truly a blessing. And I have to credit my teammates, because without them I wouldn't get the basketball. At the same time, them just continuing to pour into me so I can pour into them, it goes a long way."
Entering the Aces' matchup with the red-hot Indiana Fever on Wednesday, which the defending champions won, 86-75, Wilson needed 11 points to surpass Loyd. While she got off to a hot start, it ultimately took her until the very end of the first half to get there. With less than a minute to play before the break, Wilson caught the ball near the top of the key and knocked down the biggest mid-range jumper of her career.
Wilson had a tough shooting night overall (11 of 28), but she took over down the stretch to ensure the Aces escaped with a hard-fought win. She finished with 27 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and three blocks for another big double-double.
