Aces star A'ja Wilson in concussion protocol, return uncertain
Published in Basketball
LAS VEGAS — A’ja Wilson will not take the court when the Las Vegas Aces host the Dallas Wings on Friday at Michelob Ultra Arena.
The three-time WNBA MVP was ruled out hours before tipoff. She is in concussion protocol, the team said.
This comes after Wilson took a hit to the face and briefly returned to play before exiting in the third quarter of the Aces’ 97-89 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday.
She will need to be cleared by a medical professional before she returns. There is no set timeline, but Wilson is unlikely to play in Sunday’s home game against the Phoenix Mercury as well.
Wings No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers missed three games due to a concussion before she returned this week.
