A'ja Wilson Becomes Fastest in WNBA History to Hit 6,000 Career Points. Who Else Has Done It?

Aces center A'ja Wilson became the fastest WNBA player in history to reach 6,000 career points on Monday night, when she scored 34 points (plus 12 rebounds and nine assists) in Las Vegas's 101–91 win vs. the Seattle Storm. That effort brings her overall points tally to 6,004.

Her pace in setting that mark is historic. It took her just 278 career games to reach the milestone, which is notably 13 games less than it took the WNBA's all-time leading scorer and former Mercury guard Diana Taurasi (291). It is also faster than Liberty forward Breanna Stewart, who reached 6,000 career points in 293 games, per ESPN's Michael Voepel.
