The Las Vegas Aces are set to face the Indiana Fever today in a highly anticipated WNBA matchup. Aces fans will be relieved to know that A'ja Wilson is indeed playing tonight. After entering concussion protocol following a blow to the face in a previous game against the Los Angeles Sparks on June 11, Wilson has recovered and already made her return to the court.
In her return game against the Seattle Storm, Wilson showcased her importance to the team by posting a double-double. She is expected to maintain her usual high level of performance against the Fever. However, the Aces will still be without key players Megan Gustafson (lower leg injury) and Cheyenne Parker-Tyus (maternity leave).
Despite Wilson's return, the Aces have been struggling recently, losing their last three games. Their overall record stands at 5-7, a far cry from their championship-winning form of previous seasons. The team is eager to turn things around, and Wilson's presence is crucial to their success.
The Indiana Fever, led by Caitlin Clark, present a significant challenge. Both teams are hungry for a win after experiencing recent losses. The Fever's record is currently 6-6, and they are looking to solidify their position in the league standings.

While the official starting lineup is yet to be announced, here's a likely projection for both teams:
