Wilt Chamberlain has the NBA single-game record of 100 points, and Adebayo now has the most among active players in his league. Wilson’s career high is 53, which is the most among active players in the WNBA and is tied for the all-time league mark. A power couple, indeed. “I’m thankful to have her in my life,” Adebayo said. He got himself out of trouble on Tuesday as well. Wilson has been out of town for a few days, and wasn’t there on Sunday night when Adebayo scored 24 points — giving him 10,001 for his career. Wilson wanted to be there for the milestone. Adebayo got it without her in the building. That didn’t go over well.
“She wanted me to wait,” Adebayo said. “To have 83, the first game she’s here, is very special. The behind-the scenes, the workouts, the conversations, they’re very motivating and you get inspired every day by that.”
