Wilson 2024 Campaign
This was undoubtedly the best performance of the season for her as she led her squad in almost every statistical category. She recorded 29 points on a 11-for-23 (48.7%) field goal percentage. Las Vegas won the rebound battle with the help of her 15 rebounds in this game.
In this game, Wilson also made her presence known on defense as she blocked four shots and recorded two steals. Her presence was able to limit the opposing center, Alpheesa Collier as well holding her five points under her average.
With this performance, she now is top five in three categories for the WNBA for 2024. These include points, rebounds, and blocks per game average.
After recording 20 points and 10 rebounds for the fifth straight game, Wilson now holds the longest streak in WNBA history. She can continue to stretch this streak to an even larger number over time.
Their next game will take place in Atlanta on Friday, May 31 against the Atlanta Dream.
