Aces' A'ja Wilson Breaks Monumental WNBA Records in Win Over Sparks
Los Angeles Sparks' guard Plum averaged 17.8 points per game in an Aces uniform last season, the second-most on the team behind 6-foot-4 center A'ja Wilson.
Las Vegas returned home on Friday night to close out the month of May against a familiar face in Plum — this time playing on different sides, following January's blockbuster three-team trade.
Wilson, fresh off her third league MVP award, managed to fill the scoring void — and then some.
The two-time WNBA champion poured in 35 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks in the dominant 96-81 win over the Sparks.
Milestones on milestones for the 3x M’VP!
