Aces Star A’ja Wilson Injures Her Right Wrist on a Drive to the Basket vs. the Liberty

BARCLAYS CENTER, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, JUL 9 – A'ja Wilson left the game after a right wrist injury during a drive and will have an MRI to determine severity, affecting the Las Vegas Aces' lineup in upcoming games.

  • A'ja Wilson, a Las Vegas Aces forward and three-time WNBA MVP, injured her right wrist on July 8 during a game against the New York Liberty.
  • Wilson suffered the injury after an awkward fall on a layup attempt with 4:13 left in the second quarter, adding to a season with a prior concussion causing her to miss three games.
  • Wilson briefly continued playing after her injury, scored her only two points of the half, then left the game with 2:22 remaining to go to the locker room and did not return for the second half.
  • Coach Becky Hammon said there was no update postgame and Wilson would have an MRI, while teammate Jackie Young called Wilson ‘‘the heart and soul’’ of the team whom they all support.
  • The Aces lost 87-78 to fall to 9-10, sitting ninth in the standings and out of playoff position, with Wilson's injury intensifying uncertainty ahead of their next game Thursday against Washington.
