Las Vegas star A’ja Wilson injured her left leg after colliding with Liz Cambage in the third quarter of a 69-66 road loss to the Seattle Storm on Friday night.
Aces/WNBA
The Aces are the league’s best defensive team after seven games, allowing 89.4 points per 100 possessions amid the fastest offensive pace, 102.2 possessions per game.
Aces stars A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum have earned roster spots on USA Basketball’s World Cup Team.
Wilson concluded a stellar rookie season with 21 points and seven rebounds against the Dream on Sunday afternoon. She averaged 20.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and scored in double figures in all 33 games this season to eclipse Candace Parker for the second-most consecutive such games to start a career.
The Aces closed out their first campaign in front of the 5,737 on hand for Fan Appreciation Day at Mandalay Bay Events Center on Sunday afternoon.
The Aces have signed second-year guard Lindsay Allen to complete their 12-woman WNBA roster. Las Vegas coach Bill Laimbeer drafted Allen in the second round last year when he was with the New York Liberty.
Bill Laimbeer’s resume brims with championships — two as a power forward with the NBA’s Detroit Pistons and three as a coach with the defunct Detroit Shock of the WNBA.
A’ja Wilson, selected No. 1 overall by the Aces at the WNBA Draft on April 12, ventured to Las Vegas this week to sign her first professional contract.
