A'ja Wilson's Mom Needed Just One Word To Make Aces Star Regret Her Postgame Outfit

Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson was interrupted during her postgame press conference following a record-setting performance in the Aces' 104-102 win against the Golden State Valkyries. While speaking to reporters at Michelob Ultra Arena, Wilson paused the interview after her phone buzzed under the table. She explained that her mother had sent her a picture from the live press conference broadcast along with a one-word text: "Why?" reacting to Wilson's outfit.

Laughing at her mother's critique, Wilson proceeded to remove her red headscarf right there at the press table. This moment was captured and shared on social media by Bleacher Report.

The clip quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments section expressing amusement and relatability. Reactions included fans stating everyone needs a mother like Wilson's who keeps them humble, joking that moms always know how to humble their children, and likening the text to a "real-time family meeting." Others shared that their own mothers would have done the same, and speculated the mom's text was likely in all capital letters.
