Aces have a tall task when it comes to beating Liberty without A’ja Wilson
Wilson’s injury status is rather unexpected because, up until the game, her name wasn’t on the injury report, suggesting that she would be fit to play. It appears that something happened during a recent practice or session that caused this ailment to flare up because the Aces ended up declaring her out with a lower leg injury hours before the game. Wilson did, in fact, wear a walking boot on her right foot when she arrived at the game, which won’t exactly allay supporters’ worries.
