A’ja Wilson will miss the Las Vegas ace match against the Dallas wings on Friday evening after being placed in the concussion protocol, the team said.
Wilson suffered the concussion during the defeat on Wednesday 97-89 against the Los Angeles Sparks. She was struck on her face as she went up to defend a trip to the basket by Dearica Hamby of the Sparks. Wilson got out of the match with 1:17 to do in the third quarter, immediately pulled a towel in the nose and did not return.
After the match, Aces coach Becky Hammon said Wilson was bleeding from his head and was to see a doctor for a more in -depth assessment.
Losing Wilson, even for a match, is a hard blow for the AS, who left disappointing 4-4. Now they will have to face the n ° 1 choice of the Paige Bueckers draft – which has just returned from the concussion protocol and a disease – without the MVP quarter when they face the wings of Las Vegas.
Wilson has an average of 20.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists this season.
