South Carolina women’s basketball legend A’ja Wilson remains the best player in the world. The three-time WNBA MVP is coming off of her best overall season, one in which she broke multiple league records.

According to a report published by the Associated Press, the injury occurred with four minutes, 13 seconds left in the second quarter when Wilson drove down the lane to go for a layup, but landed awkwardly after being fouled. Wilson lay on the floor for a few minutes until she could get up and walk to the Aces bench inside the Barclays Center.

In the Tuesday’s game against the New York Liberty, Aces MVP A’ja Wilson suffered a right wrist injury at the 4:13 mark in the second quarter. Wilson tried to play through the pain for just a few more minutes.

A'ja Wilson's injury sidelines a WNBA star and opens the door for international players like Leonie Fiebich to rise. Is the league shifting globally?

The Liberty currently own a 12-6 record coming into this matchup and are the third-best team in the entire league. Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, Natasha Cloud and Marine Johannes have all been instrumental in their success. 2024 Finals MVP Jonquel Jones was brilliant as well, but she’s been sidelined with a sprained ankle since mid-June.
