A'ja Wilson's ankle injury raises doubts for Las Vegas Aces as WNBA action heats up
Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson (22) suffered an ankle roll during the Aces' 107-99 win over the Chicago Sky on Sunday and was listed as questionable for the team's upcoming rematch with the Sky. Wilson had recorded a historic 30‑point, 15‑rebound performance in that game, but the Aces may limit her minutes after the injury. Coach Becky Hammon noted the uncertainty, while teammate Jackie Young led the Aces with 31 points in the recent loss to the New York Liberty in the Commissioner's Cup championship.
In other WNBA news, the Dallas Wings defeated the Connecticut Sun 86‑83 in Hartford, with former UConn star Paige Bueckers scoring 25 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, to extend her streak of 25‑plus point games to four straight. Jessica Shepard added 14 points, and the Wings rallied in the final minutes to secure the win before heading to Toronto for their next matchup.
