Caitlin Clark Sets 10th 25-10 WNBA Mark in Fever's 103-85 Win as Mitchell Scores 33

Q: With the scoring record shattered, can A'ja Wilson snatch the 2026 title back from Kelsey Mitchell in the final games?

Yes — Wilson still has a realistic shot at the 2026 scoring title, even after Mitchell broke the single-season points record. Mitchell’s record is about total points, and she now has 1,034 after scoring 33 in the Fever’s win over Toronto. But the scoring title is decided by points per game, not total points. On that front, Wilson still holds the edge at 26.1 points per game, while Mitchell is at roughly 25.2. That means Wilson controls the cleaner path to the title if she keeps scoring at her usual rate over the final stretch. She had 991 points through 38 games entering this phase and remains the league’s most prolific scorer on a per-game basis. Her recent form supports that: she has averaged 24.5 points over her last 10 games and just posted 29 against Seattle in Las Vegas’ first game back. Mitchell’s case is strong because of volume and consistency. She has scored at least 15 in every game, has a 25-game streak of 20-point outings, and is carrying one of the league’s hottest offenses. But because she has played more games, her average has less room to rise quickly unless she closes with several big nights. So the race is not settled. Mitchell owns the historic record for total points, but Wilson remains well positioned to reclaim the scoring crown if she sustains her per-game lead over the final games. Barring a major scoring surge from Mitchell, Wilson is still the favorite for the 2026 scoring title.
