Another game, another record for Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson.
The WNBA MVP frontrunner, just minutes into the Aces’ 85-72 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night, broke the league’s single-season rebounding record. That came just days after Wilson both set the league’s single-season scoring record and became the first player in WNBA history to score more than 1,000 points in a season.
Wilson entered Tuesday’s game at Climate Pledge Arena just two rebounds shy of matching the single-season rebounding record — which Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese set earlier this season.
After two quick rebounds on the defensive end in the opening minutes, Wilson grabbed her third off a missed 3-pointer from Storm guard Skylar Diggins-Smith just after the midway point of the period to officially break the record.
