Three-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson left the Las Vegas Aces' game against the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night with a head injury.
The Aces announced that additional information would be supplied as Wilson receives further evaluation.
Wilson took herself out of the game with 1:17 left in the third quarter and immediately put a towel on her nose. She left the bench area a short time later and was ruled out early in the fourth quarter.
Wilson took a blow to the nose earlier in the game, and gauze was put into her nose to stop the bleeding.
Wilson missed a jumper shortly before leaving the game. She had 13 points but shot just 2-for-12 from the field. Wilson also had eight rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots in the Aces' 97-89 loss.
