Tonight, the Las Vegas Aces battle the New York Liberty in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final. However, one of the league’s brightest stars won’t be suiting up for this pivotal matchup.
The Aces may face an uphill battle in this one —multi-time MVP A’ja Wilson has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game due to a right leg injury.
The injury is a significant blow to an Aces team that appeared poised to potentially capture its second Commissioner’s Cup since the inception of the competition. Wilson, 29 years old, averages a league-leading 25.7 points per game, also pitching in 9.4 rebounds and 3.6 combined stocks. The four-time WNBA MVP has already cemented her place as one of the legends of the game and could’ve added just one more accolade had she been able to suit up.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Aces are a +6.5 underdog with +195 odds of an outright win on the Moneyline. The game total sits at 173.5.
Las Vegas is 14-5 overall this season, good for second in the Western Conference.
