Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson suffered a wrist injury during last night’s game, raising concerns about her immediate availability. The injury occurred in the second quarter after Wilson took a hard fall while driving to the basket. She was visibly in discomfort and briefly left the court to receive medical attention.
In a testament to her toughness, Wilson returned to the game shortly after, playing a few minutes before ultimately heading to the locker room for further evaluation. Her departure left fans and teammates worried, especially given her crucial role in the Aces’ campaign for a third straight WNBA title.
The team has not provided an official diagnosis or timeline for her return, stating only that Wilson is undergoing further testing. “We’re still evaluating A’ja’s condition,” head coach Becky Hammon said postgame. “She wanted to go, but we wanted to be cautious. Her health is our priority.”
Wilson, a two-time WNBA MVP and the face of the franchise, has been dominant this season, averaging 26.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game. Her potential absence could significantly impact the Aces, who are currently jockeying for playoff position in a tightly contested league.
Teammates expressed their support and optimism. “We know she’s a warrior,” said point guard Chelsea Gray. “Whatever happens, we’ve got her back, and we’re ready to hold it down until she’s good.”
With no set timeline for her return, the basketball world waits anxiously for updates on Wilson’s condition. The Aces are expected to release more information following further medical evaluation. Until then, Wilson’s status remains day-to-day as fans hope for a speedy recovery for one of the league’s brightest stars.
