On August 22, 2023, A’ja Wilson did something only one other WNBA player has done in history—score 53 points in a single game. Tying the all-time single-game scoring record set by Liz Cambage in 2018, Wilson’s performance against the Atlanta Dream was a jaw-dropping display of skill, efficiency, and power.
She shot 16-of-23 from the field, made 20-of-21 free throws, and added 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. This wasn’t just a scoring explosion—it was an all-around clinic.
The performance pushed Wilson past the 2,500-point mark faster than any player in Aces franchise history. With two MVPs (2020, 2022), a Defensive Player of the Year award, and two WNBA titles already under her belt, the conversation has shifted: Is A’ja Wilson the greatest two-way player the league has ever seen?
Coaches praise her discipline. Teammates call her the ultimate competitor. And fans? They just want more. Wilson isn’t just dominating games—she’s defining an era.
