A'ja Wilson exits game in first half vs. Liberty with wrist injury, will not return
NEW YORK — Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson suffered a right wrist injury in the second quarter of Tuesday's game with the New York Liberty and was ruled out for the game's second half, the team announced. She sustained the injury on a drive to the basket with 4:13 to play in the second quarter and fell hard after attempting a shot over Liberty center Nyara Sabally. Advertisement Wilson remained on the floor for more than a minute, and the entirety of Las Vegas' bench emptied and surrounded her. She was able to walk off the court under her own power and made one of two ensuing free throws. Wilson played less than two more minutes before exiting the game once again. The reigning WNBA MVP, who is set to appear in her seventh All-Star Game next week, sat the final 2:22 of the first half and was not on Las Vegas' bench as the third quarter began. Her pair of free throws from earlier in the game were her only points of the night. Wilson missed all three of her field goal attempts in the first half and finished with four rebounds and two assists. The Aces led 42-40 at halftime. This story will be updated.
