Get ready to hear MVP chants! Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson has once again proven why she’s a force to be reckoned with in the WNBA. In her most recent game, Wilson didn’t just lead her team to victory; she shattered a league record, scoring at least 30 points for the 13th time in a single season. This incredible feat makes a compelling case for her to clinch the MVP award.
A Record-Breaking Season
With three games left before the playoffs, Wilson’s 13th 30+ point game came during an 80-66 win against the Chicago Sky. This performance, where she also grabbed 11 rebounds, pushed the Aces’ winning streak to an impressive 14 games and secured them home-court advantage through the quarterfinals. It’s clear Wilson is playing at an elite level, setting new benchmarks for the league.
Dominating the Stat Sheet
Wilson’s dominance isn’t limited to scoring. She leads the league with 10 double-doubles this season (30+ points and 10+ rebounds), a category where no other player has more than one. This remarkable consistency extends to her career totals, with 26 career 30/10 games, placing her well ahead of second-place Tina Charles. Her 119th career double-double also ranks her fifth all-time in the WNBA.
Consistent Excellence Recognized
This season’s accolades continue to pile up for Wilson. In August, she earned her record-breaking 13th Player of the Month Award, averaging an astounding 29 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game. She also recently secured her fifth Western Conference Player of the Week award, bringing her career total to a league-best 27.
The Aces are set to host the Sky again on September 9th for their final home game of the regular season. With Wilson playing at this historic pace, fans are eagerly watching to see if she can lead the Aces to a championship and cap off her record-breaking season with an MVP trophy.
