WNBA Fans Sound Off After Paige Bueckers, Marina Mabrey & Others Choose A'ja Wilson Over Caitlin Clark for 53-Point Record

WNBA stars publicly weighed in on a potential 53-point record scenario, and most named A’ja Wilson rather than Caitlin Clark during the All-Star Orange Carpet event. The question followed Marina Mabrey’s 53-point outing against the Los Angeles Sparks last month, which also tied a single-game WNBA benchmark. In a clip shared by Just Women’s Sports, players including Paige Bueckers, Mabrey, Rhyne Howard, Bridget Carleton and Gabriela Jaquez omitted Clark when asked who might break the mark; none of the responses in the clip named her, while the majority picked the reigning WNBA MVP. The league context shows Wilson atop points per game at 25.5, with the Aces holding 18 wins, while Clark is fifth with 20.7 despite time lost to a back injury. Clark previously recorded a 45-point, 10-assist game on July 17 against the Seattle Storm.
