Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson, a three-time WNBA MVP and the reigning league MVP, has been sidelined due to injuries in recent games. On June 13, Wilson was ruled out against the Dallas Wings after entering the WNBA concussion protocol following a concussion sustained in a game against the Los Angeles Sparks. She missed the subsequent game against the Wings as a result. Later, on July 9, Wilson suffered a right wrist injury during a game against the New York Liberty. She left the game with 4:13 remaining in the second quarter and did not return. The injury occurred after a hard fall during a drive to the basket, and she was scheduled to undergo an MRI for further evaluation. The Aces lost the game to the Liberty 87-78, and Wilson's wrist injury may have significant implications for the remainder of Las Vegas's season.

The Aces fall to New York 87-78, but potentially losing A'ja Wilson, who left the game with an injury, would have much bigger implications for Las Vegas' season https://t.co/B8vH9px44g https://t.co/gt6RdL3Ch7
