A’ja Wilson shines in her first WNBA All-Star Game

Among WNBA royalty, A’ja Wilson continued her historic rookie season on Saturday, pouring in 18 points in the league’s All-Star Game to finish tied for second among all scorers.

Wilson came off the bench in the contest, which was held in Minneapolis, and was the only player to reach double digits by halftime. The former South Carolina women’s basketball great was the only first-year player to be named an All-Star, and she added five rebounds, two steals and an assist.

The only player to outscore Wilson was Kristi Toliver, who collected 23 points.
