The Los Angeles Lakers star crossed the 50,000-point threshold on Tuesday night as the Purple and Gold secured a resounding 136-115 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans 136-115.

A'ja Wilson and LeBron James share a supportive relationship, with the former congratulating the Lakers star on Tuesday. However, this tradition of congratulating one another has been going on for some time now, with the King giving the reigning WNBA MVP her flowers after her 40-point game on Aug. 27.

In a game against the Dallas Wings, the former Gamecocks star dropped 42 points, earning her the reaction of LeBron James, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to give a verdict on his "lil sis'" performance:

"Lil sis going crazy right now!!!! @_ajawilson22," he wrote commending her performance.

Wilson notched up the 42 points in 37 minutes while going 16-22 from within the arch. The star also converted 10 free throws while collecting six rebounds and providing two assists.

However, despite her stellar performance, the Aces couldn't take home the win as Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard guided their team to a 93-90 win at the College Park Center.
