\n Wilson needed just seven points heading into the Aces\u2019 game against the Connecticut Sun at Michelob ULTRA Arena and hit the mark midway through the second quarter when she made a layup.\n <\/p>\n
\n The three-time league<\/a> MVP is the 28th player to score 5,000 career points but achieved the feat in just 238 games, the quickest to ever do so. Wilson improves on the previous record set by Breanna Stewart, who hit the mark in 242 games.\n <\/p>\n \n In scoring 5,000 points at the age of 28 years and 321 days, Wilson is also the second-youngest player to reach that milestone, only behind Lauren Jackson who did it at the age of 28 years and 96 days in her 259th game.\n <\/p>\n \n In her press conference afterwards, Wilson showed the shoes she wore during the game \u2013 inspired by Tiana from the movie \u201cThe Princess and the Frog\u201d \u2013 which she had written \u201c5K\u201d and the date on. She said she won\u2019t wear the shoes again to remember the achievement.\n <\/p>\n \n Afterwards, Wilson called etching her name into the history books as a \u201ctruly special moment.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cIt meant a lot to me. It\u2019s been a special, special season for us,\u201d Wilson told reporters. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of ups and downs. But when you can hit a milestone like this in a league like this, I can\u2019t let it go unnoticed, so I\u2019m grateful, I\u2019m blessed.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI\u2019m definitely going to cherish this moment because it\u2019s been a lot of fun. But obviously, we\u2019ve got a lot of work to do.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n Wilson\u2019s historic achievement came in a typical all-around performance<\/a> by the center in Las Vegas\u2019 85-59 win over Connecticut on Wednesday.\n <\/p>\n \n The two-time WNBA champion finished with 22 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and three blocks. She has now hit double-digit points in each of her last 62 regular season games, the seventh longest streak in league history and longest active streak.\n <\/p>\n \n Wilson finished the game with 5,015 career points \u2013 27th in the WNBA\u2019s all-time standings and some way off leader Diana Taurasi, who has 10,646.\n <\/p>\n![\"Wilson](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/gettyimages-2222182854.jpg\")
