Reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson will get an MRI on her right wrist after she injured it Tuesday night in the Las Vegas Aces‘ 87-78 loss to the New York Liberty.
The injury occurred six minutes into the second quarter when Wilson landed hard on her right arm and wrist after going up for a layup. She remained on the floor for a few minutes with her team surrounding her but was able to get up under her own power.
She stayed in the game for the next few possessions, a decision coach Becky Hammon said was made by Wilson so the Aces wouldn’t have to intentionally foul to stop play. Doing that would have put Las Vegas in the bonus for the final four minutes.
