Wilson Drops 53 Points To Match WNBA Scoring Record
Olympic basketball champion A’ja Wilson tied the WNBA record of most points in a game.
Wilson made two free throws with 51.3 seconds remaining of the fourth quarter on Tuesday to finish with the record-equaling 53 points and help the Las Vegas Aces beat the Atlanta Dream 112-100.
The 53-point game makes Wilson the third player in league history to break the 50-point mark in a game.
She shares the record with Australian Liz Cambage, who had set the single-game record in 2018 playing for the Dallas Wings.
Riquna Williams had the previous mark of 51, which she set in 2013.
