When could A’ja Wilson return after leg injury?

By admin — In yahoo — June 30, 2026

   ​Durability has long defined A’ja Wilson’s standout WNBA career. The four-time MVP has missed only six games across seven seasons, and the Las Vegas Aces have consistently relied on her dominance in the paint. But Wilson is currently sidelined with a right leg injury at an inconvenient time, missing tonight’s Commissioner’s Cup Championship against the New York Liberty after a Sunday fall against the Chicago Sky. ESPN’s Kareem Copeland reported that Wilson was chasing a loose ball when she collapsed, clutching her ankle in pain. It’s a significant blow for Vegas, as Wilson continues to put up another elite season, averaging 25.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 2 blocks per game. Without her, the Aces face a tough challenge against a Liberty squad that has struggled recently under first-year coach Chris DeMarco. Here’s what we know about the Commissioner’s Cup Championship and Wilson’s potential return. The game is tonight at 7 p.m. ET. As for the duration of Wilson’s absence, it does not seem to be a major injury, and barring an update from the Aces, she is expected to be back sooner rather than later.
