On Tuesday night, Wilson set the WNBA's single-season rebounding record during her team's crucial matchup with the Seattle Storm, bringing her total rebounds to 447.

Wilson's record-breaking moment came early in the game when she grabbed a miss from Skylar Diggins-Smith, securing her place in the record books once again.

This achievement adds to Wilson's already historic season, as she recently became the first player in WNBA history to score 1,000 points in a single season.

Notably, this is the second time the rebounding record has been broken this summer. No. 7 overall pick Angel Reese surpassed Sylvia Fowles' previous mark of 404 on September 1, only to be sidelined for the season shortly after due to a wrist injury.

Reese finished with 446 total rebounds, showcasing her dominance on the glass with an average of 13.1 rebounds per game, which still leads the league and will be the highest single-season average ever.

Wilson's latest feat comes on the heels of her historic scoring milestone, further solidifying her status as a standout player in the league.

With an average of 27 points per game, Wilson is on track to achieve the highest single-season scoring average ever.

Thanks to Wilson's exceptional performance, the Aces have gained momentum heading into the playoffs, winning seven of their last eight games to reach a 25-13 record for the season.

They still have an outside chance of catching the Connecticut Sun for the No. 3 seed in the playoffs.

Regardless of their playoff seeding, the Aces' prospects for a threepeat championship look promising, especially with Wilson leading the way. Her contributions have elevated the team's performance, instilling confidence that they can compete with any opponent.

As Wilson continues to rewrite the record books and inspire her team with her extraordinary talent, she cements her legacy as one of the most dominant forces in the WNBA. Her impact goes beyond individual accolades, as she propels the Aces towards championship contention with each remarkable achievement.
