A'ja Wilson further etched herself into WNBA folklore with a brilliant double-double against the Indiana Fever. Wilson now stands alone at the top of the pile, breaking the WNBA single-season scoring record with 941 points, surpassing Jewell Loyd's 939 points from 2023.
Wilson's stats against the Fever were nothing short of remarkable. The veteran center returned to the court against Caitlin Clark and company after missing Sunday's duel against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center. After picking up an injury against the Connecticut Sun, Wilson was seen wearing a boot before the high-flying duel against the Liberty.
She picked up where she left against the Aces, going for 10 points in the first quarter on 4-of-10 shooting from the field. She grabbed seven rebounds and recorded one block.

Caitlin Clark showered A'ja Wilson with praise ahead of Aces-Fever game
Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has seen firsthand what A'ja Wilson is capable of doing on the court. The leading Rookie of the Year candidate heaped high praise on the league MVP candidate on Tuesday.
"She’s pretty incredible," Clark said. "You watch her, and it’s just unguardable; there's nothing anybody can do to stop it. She's just that dominant; whether it's her mid-range game, she can put it on the floor, and she's just so athletic. But also she affects the game on both sides, she's a really good defensive player, a great rim protector, just so athletic."
Wilson and Clark are pretty different players, but their styles have dominated the WNBA this season, making them two of the best ballers out there ahead of the playoffs.
