The injury occurred when she rolled her ankle late in last Sunday\u2019s win over the Sky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Before Friday\u2019s game, Aces coach Becky Hammon described Wilson\u2019s injury as \u201cday by day\u201d and said she did not expect it to be a long-term issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s tough,\u201d Hammon said Friday. \u201cI want to protect her as much as possible. She really wants to play, and we\u2019re not going to rush.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Wilson\u2019s absence means Sunday\u2019s matchup will be without two of the league\u2019s top stars, with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark announcing earlier this week that she will sit out to rehab a back injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Wilson, 29, has missed just eight games over the past seven seasons. She leads the WNBA in scoring at 25.7 points per game and in blocks with 2.0. She also is third with 9.4 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Las Vegas Aces star A\u2019ja Wilson will miss her third consecutive game Sunday against the Indiana Fever because&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":771369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,91337,82,630],"class_list":["post-781266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-las-vegas-aces-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-153","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=781266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/771369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=781266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=781266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
