Now 27 and approaching the peak of her powers, Wilson should be rightfully rewarded for one of the greatest single seasons in the WNBA’s 27-year history.

The WNBA unveiled its schedule Thursday. The Aces will open the 2022 season on May 6 with a road game against the Phoenix Mercury.
Only five Aces players are under contract for next season, per Spotrac: Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, Jackie Young and Destiny Slocum.
Colson leads the Aces onto the court with a variety of “Lady Aces” chants that typically include a rhythmic clap coupled with an empowering, enthusiastic march.
Kayla McBride scored 25 points Sunday, but the Aces shot 35.9 percent from the field and fell 88-78 to the New York Liberty in White Plains, New York.
The Aces have zeroed in on Notre Dame’s Jackie Young and Louisville’s Asia Durr as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft, which begins at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu, a 5-foot-11 point guard, has flaunted in Las Vegas the precocious skillset that has helped her net an NCAA record 17 triple-doubles and emerge as perhaps the top prospect in next month’s WNBA Draft.
