What happened
A'ja Wilson delivered a complete two-way performance to open the 2026 WNBA Commissioner's Cup presented by Coinbase, recording 25 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks and three steals as the Las Vegas Aces claimed their first win of the in-season tournament. The double-double anchored Las Vegas on both ends of the floor as Cup group play got underway.
Why it matters
The outing was Wilson's third career game with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks — the most such games in WNBA history, surpassing Sylvia Fowles. The milestone reinforces her standing as the league's most dominant two-way player, and it lands as the Aces open their Commissioner's Cup campaign.
By the numbers
Wilson's final line read 25 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks and three steals. The five rejections and three steals underscored a defensive presence that matched her scoring output, the combination that pushed her past Fowles in the record book.
What to watch next
Las Vegas will look to build on the result as Commissioner's Cup group play continues. With Wilson setting the tone, the Aces aim to carry the momentum deeper into the tournament.
