A’Ja Wilson: The Historic Seventh WNBA Player to Achieve Playoff Milestone

What limitations does A’ja Wilson face? In the Aces' semifinal showdown against the Fever on Sunday, the four-time WNBA MVP added yet another remarkable achievement to her remarkable career. Only six players in WNBA history have reached Wilson's milestone of scoring 1,000 playoff points, which she accomplished during this match. The elite group includes Diana Taurasi (1,486), DeWanna Bonner (1,229), Candace Parker (1,149), Tamika Catchings (1,141), Maya Moore (1,077), and Breanna Stewart (1,006). With Stewart’s Liberty eliminated in the first round, Wilson is poised to ascend the rankings this postseason. Entering her eighth season, Wilson officially joined this prestigious list on Sunday. Her landmark moment came with a three-pointer in the first quarter, where she began the game with 991 career postseason points and quickly surpassed that with 10 points. In 2025, Wilson boasted the league's top average points (23.4) and now leads with 23.7 in the playoffs. The Aces can secure a spot in the WNBA Finals with a win on Sunday.
