A’ja Wilson has played professional basketball for seven seasons, but this current season has marked one of the most monumental of her career; she has set the league’s single-season scoring record (the first in WNBA history to top 1,000 points), broken the single-season rebound record, and had the most blocked shots in a season, too. Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces will cap off this impressive season with an appearance in the WNBA playoffs starting on Sunday when they will play the Seattle Storm.

The Aces will host the Storm at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. The game, which begins at 10 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on ESPN, or it can be streamed after it concludes on WNBA League Pass.
