Wilson’s pull-up jumper with 26.4 seconds left in the first half brought her to 941 points for 2024, surpassing Jewell Loyd’s previous record of 939 set last season. By the end of the game, Wilson had 27 points, bringing her total to 956, just 44 points shy of becoming the first WNBA player to reach 1,000 in a season.

“It feels great because now people will stop talking about it,” Wilson said in postgame. “Felt like it was just like lingering, lingering, lingering, so I’m glad that we got it done.

“I don’t want to sound cliché when I say this, but I don’t get any of that without every single teammate along the way. And I’m so grateful to be able to play with selfless women. They give it their all every single day, and they’re their pure selves, and that’s what I love the most. My teammates, they’re the heartbeat, they keep me going.”

Returning after a minor ankle injury, Wilson continues her dominance. The two-time MVP (2020, 2022) and 2023 Finals MVP has led the Aces to consecutive titles and secured MVP honors at the Paris Olympics, where Team USA clinched its eighth straight gold.
