In the 87-71 victory against the Los Angeles Sparks on Aug. 18, she also created another WNBA record when she scored at least 20 points and grabbed 10 or more rebounds in eight straight games.

She has been on a streak during the last eight games, during which she averaged 29.3 points, 14.4 rebounds, and 3.6 blocks. Her shooting percentage is 53% (85-of-161) from the field and 93.3% (56-of-60) from the free-throw line.

Wilson is also the first player in league history with multiple games of 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five steals. Along with Candace Parker, Sylvia Fowles, and Angel Reese, Wilson becomes the fourth player in league history to record eight double-doubles in a row.

The Aces have also mentioned that Wilson, having scored at least 24 points in each of the past eight games, ties a WNBA record she already shared with Diana Taurasi.

Other noteworthy stats include Wilson’s two blocked shots, giving her 417, placing her No. 12 on the all-time WNBA block list; her streak of double-digit scoring reached 39 games, the longest active streak in the league; the 13 rebounds she grabbed, giving her 1,947 for her career, which is the 30th most in WNBA history; her 17th double-double of the season, is also the 93rd of her career, placing her as having the 7th most in WNBA history; and by recording her 17th 20/10 game of the season and the 69th of her career, makes that stat the 5th-most in WNBA history.
