Overview

  • Wilson injured her right wrist after landing hard following a layup six minutes into the second quarter of Tuesday’s loss to the New York Liberty and left the game at halftime.
  • An MRI on Wednesday morning ruled out a catastrophic injury, and Wilson thanked medical staff and fans for their support in a social media post.
  • The Aces officially listed her as questionable for Thursday’s road contest in Washington as they await final scan readings.
  • Hammon stressed that preserving Wilson’s long-term health takes precedence over the stakes of a single matchup.
  • Las Vegas, currently 9-10 and fifth in the Western Conference, will rely on its supporting cast to compensate if its three-time MVP sits out.
