Fever vs LV Aces Announcers’ “Agenda” Gets Exposed by A’ja Wilson Fans as WNBA’s Record-Breaking Moment Goes Unnoticed

Uncategorized / By

It had nearly been half a decade since A’ja Wilson missed a game. But the streak ended on September 7th, as the two-time MVP, struggling with an ankle injury, had no choice but to sit out. “There’s never a good time for this. She does get a couple of days to get that ankle right and a little bit of rest,” shared head coach Becky Hammon. And she was right.

At this point in time, “rest” was all Wilson needed to fuel her comeback as evident in the September 12th game against the Indiana Fever. Right before hitting the hardwood, she was just 11 points short of overtaking Jewell Loyd. However, once she entered the court, it only took her 12 minutes to claim the record. “That’s 941 points for A’ja Wilson, a new WNBA regular season single-season record!” wrote Across the Timeline on X.

Now, the Aces veteran stands as the new record holder for the single-season scoring record. In fact, she’s the first player to reach such stats in just a 35-game span in the history of the women’s league. What else would you expect from Wilson? As of now, she stands neck-and-neck with an Indiana Fever rookie in the race for MVP this season.

Her competition this season is fiercer than ever—it’s record-breaker Caitlin Clark. The 22-year-old Iowa native is proving to be a force, enough to overpower even the veterans who play alongside her. Whether it’s assists, three-pointers, or overall scoring, the 2024 No. 1 draft pick’s dominance is what truly stands out. This has even caught the attention of the media. However, it seems fans of Wilson are not happy with the media’s attention on Clark.

It’s common practice for broadcasters to mention records players break during a game. That’s something expected of them, even in today’s game when Wilson shattered the record. But surprisingly, nothing of the sort happened.

A’ja Wilson fans roar on social media

This agitated viewers and urged them to rally for their favorite player. “Mind you, A’ja Wilson just broke the record for most points in a single season, but the announcers said nothing about it. Oh, yeah, there’s an agenda at play. That’s why I hate watching this Fever team,” penned a user on X.

For those who follow Wilson, the “agenda” to cover only the selling point—Clark—was crystal clear. While Fever is not at fault, as a repercussion, the team is being dragged along with the broadcasters.”Massive broadcast L for not even mentioning it,” added another user.

Well, there’s a reason behind it too. Ever since Clark entered the WNBA, its trajectories have been on an upswing, thanks to the viewership and impressive gameplay Clark brings to the table. Even those who watch her can’t take their eyes off her. “The TV commentary didn’t mention A’ja Wilson becoming the all-time leader in points scored in a season, but anything #CaitlinClark does, they rush to gush all over it,” wrote another commentator on X.

The WNBA’s leader in scoring has given just a glimpse of the play she will display in the playoffs by the end of this regular season. But still, it wasn’t enough in the eyes of the broadcasters, compared to Clark, who holds records in almost every category. “A’ja Wilson breaks the WNBA record for points in a season, and the announcers didn’t even acknowledge it,” added another user.

Well, it’s not just the announcers at fault. It’s the anticipation for Clark’s performance on her way to breaking the regular-season assist record. As of now, she’s just seven assists away from shattering the previous one.
