The Las Vegas Aces have their first two-game losing streak of the season and are looking to get back on track on Friday, June 13, at home against the Dallas Wings.
They’ll have to do it without their best player.
The team says three-team MVP A’ja Wilson will not play Friday night after being placed in concussion protocol. Wilson sustained the concussion on June 11 against the Los Angeles Sparks when defending against a drive by Dearica Hamby.
Wilson left the game with 1:17 left in the third quarter and did not return.
Aces coach Becky Hammon said after the game that Wilson would need to see a doctor for evaluation. After that evaluation, she has been placed in concussion protocol.
Wilson leads the team in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals per game.
The Wings have struggled this season despite the arrival of No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers and sit at 1-10 entering Friday’s game.
The Aces are looking for their first home win of the month against Dallas. They’ll have another shot at it on Sunday, June 15, against the Phoenix Mercury.
