A'ja Wilson has made history again in her outstanding 2024 WNBA season, becoming the first player in league history to score 1,000 points in a single season.

The Las Vegas Aces center reached this remarkable milestone during a home game against the Connecticut Sun, clinching it with a fadeaway jumper in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Aces secured an 84-71 victory over the Sun, and Wilson's historic moment was further commemorated with a game ball presentation alongside her parents.

The milestone follows Wilson’s recent achievement of setting the single-season points record just days earlier. In a game against the Indiana Fever, led by Caitlin Clark, Wilson surpassed Jewell Loyd's previous record of 939 points, a mark set last season. 

Following the on-court celebrations, Wilson shared a more intimate moment of reflection with her teammates. "I hope y'all know how much I love each and every last one of y'all," she said before tears fell down her face. "Y'all will never understand how much y'all mean to me because there's days where I hate being A'ja Wilson. I hate it. But when I come in to work and I see y'all smiling and I see y'all just happy, (it) makes me who I am."

Aces head coach Becky Hammon expressed her desire for Wilson to surpass the 1,000-point mark in front of the home crowd to “get the love that she deserves.”

"She's dominant on both ends, and that is a rare player. She's just a super humble human being, and she's about the right things all the time. She's always about her teammates, and she's always about winning," Hammon said. "I think A'ja is a great example of making everybody great around her.
