Aces' Wilson Injured Again, Liberty Win 87-78

Las Vegas Aces star and reigning WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson exited Tuesday night's game against the New York Liberty after suffering a right wrist injury in the second quarter, shortly after returning from a recent concussion that had sidelined her for three games earlier in the season. Wilson posted two points, four rebounds, and two assists before the injury and briefly remained in the game to shoot free throws before being ruled out for the rest of the contest, returning to the bench with her wrist wrapped. The severity of her wrist injury remains unclear, casting doubt on her availability for upcoming games and the WNBA All-Star Game, where she was named a starter. The Aces, now with a 9-10 record and clinging to a playoff spot, face increased challenges without Wilson, who leads the team in multiple statistical categories. The New York Liberty took advantage of her absence, overcoming their own injuries and securing an 87-78 victory led by Sabrina Ionescu. Wilson's injury has significant implications for the remainder of the Aces' season and league events.
