The Las Vegas Aces ruled out reigning WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson for the rest of their game Tuesday at the New York Liberty due to a right wrist injury.

Wilson was hurt on a play late in the second quarter when she drew a foul going to the basket and landed hard on both her hands.

Wilson, 28, did not return to start the second half, with Kierstan Bell starting the half in her place.

The 2020, 2022 and 2024 league MVP and two-time Defensive Player of the Year was averaging 21.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.8 steals per game through her first 15 games before Tuesday's rematch of the 2023 WNBA Finals.

She recorded two points, four rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes before her injury.
