A'ja Wilson Becomes Fastest Player to Reach 6,000 WNBA Points

The 278-game mark reshapes her place among WNBA scorers after a 34-point near triple‑double that powered Las Vegas to a 101-91 victory.

Overview

  • Wilson hit the 6,000th point late in the game after grabbing an offensive rebound and sinking a jumper, finishing with 34 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists and three blocks.
  • She reached the milestone in 278 games, topping Diana Taurasi’s previous fastest mark of 291 games and becoming the 19th player in league history to score 6,000 career points.
