On Saturday, the Las Vegas Aces secured their fourth consecutive win by defeating the Washington Mystics with a score of 88-77. This victory was significant, but it also marked the end of A’ja Wilson’s spectacular streak in the WNBA.
Wilson had been scoring at least 20 points in every game since August 28, 2023, breaking her own record of 20 or more points in 20 consecutive contests dating back to last season. The previous record was held by Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury with 13 consecutive 20-point games between the 2006 and 2007 seasons. However, on this latest match, Wilson scored only 11 points, breaking her streak.
Despite the end of her streak, Wilson’s dominance in scoring, rebounding, and blocks has made her a standout player in the WNBA this season. Her averages of 28 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game speak to her exceptional talent and contributions to the Aces. In addition to her scoring prowess, Wilson became the all-time leader in rebounds for the Aces, surpassing Sophia Malcolm-Young with 1,815 rebounds to her name.
