A’ja Wilson is set to play against the Indiana Fever on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. The Las Vegas Aces have not included Wilson on their injury report, suggesting she will be available. However, Aces coach Becky Hammon has been cautious with Wilson’s minor ankle injury, so her availability might be determined closer to game time.
Wilson is having an MVP-worthy season, leading the WNBA in scoring (27.3 ppg) and blocks (2.7 bpg), while placing second in rebounds (11.9 rpg). She’s also nearing the single-season scoring record.
Rookie Caitlin Clark and the Fever face a tough challenge in trying to contain Wilson, who has dominated their previous two meetings. Clark has called Wilson “incredible” and “unguardable.”
