Aces' A'ja Wilson to miss game against Mystics with wrist injury

Reigning WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson will miss the Las Vegas Aces' game against the Washington Mystics on Thursday due to an injured right wrist. The Aces announced her absence but have not officially designated her injury status, listing her as day to day.

Wilson sustained the injury during the Aces' loss to the New York Liberty on Tuesday night. She fell hard to the floor in the second quarter. Although she briefly continued playing, she left the game for good with 2:22 remaining in the first half.

Wilson underwent an MRI for the injury, but the Aces have not publicly released the results. Wilson commented on the situation on Instagram, humorously noting "Nothing wakes you up like the sound of an MRI machine lol!" and expressing appreciation for the care shown by both the Liberty and her Aces teammates when she was hurt.

This wrist injury marks the second time Wilson has been sidelined this season, as she previously missed three games due to a concussion.

Wilson is currently averaging 20.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game this season.
