There is no historic ranking of the best single weeks by individual players, but if there were, A’ja Wilson’s recent three-game stretch would be up there with the best ever. The Las Vegas Aces star reminded everyone why she’s the MVP favorite with a truly stunning stretch that included three more victories.
Here’s a look at each individual performance:
- Vs. Seattle: 24 points, 20 rebounds, three steals, four blocks
- Vs. Atlanta: 33 points, 18 rebounds, three steals, five blocks
- Vs. Washington: 28 points, 17 rebounds, two blocks
Her averages: 28.3 points on 53.3/42.9/100 shooting splits, 18.3 rebounds, two steals and 3.7 blocks.
In the process, Wilson recorded the first 20-20 game of her career, became the first player ever with three consecutive games of at least 20 points and 15 rebounds and set a single-season record with 11 games of at least 25 points and 10 rebounds.
