Aces' A'ja Wilson (concussion protocol) out again Tuesday

The Las Vegas Aces will be without three-time WNBA Most Valuable Player A'ja Wilson when they face the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday in Minneapolis.

Wilson remains in concussion protocol and is due to miss her third game in a row.

The Los Angeles Sparks' Dearica Hamby collided with Wilson in the third quarter of Las Vegas' home loss on Wednesday. Wilson emerged from the play with a bloodied face, and she soon exited the contest for good as the Aces fell 97-89.

Wilson subsequently was sidelined as Las Vegas split a pair of home games, an 88-84 win over the Dallas Wings on Friday and a 76-70 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday.

Wilson, 28, is averaging 20.9 points per game, tied for third in the WNBA, and 9.6 rebounds per game, third in the league.

The WNBA's MVP in 2020, 2022 and 2024, Wilson has career averages of 21.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 235 games (234 starts). She led the Aces to consecutive league championships in 2022 and 2023.

The Aces (5-5) have lost three of their past four games as they prepare to oppose the Lynx (10-1).
