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.

Predicted Starting Lineups

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

  • Las Vegas Aces: Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd, Jackie Young, A'ja Wilson, and Kiah Stokes.
  • Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull, Natasha Howard, and Aliyah Boston.

Injury Report

  • Las Vegas Aces:
    • A'ja Wilson: Initially out due to concussion protocol, but Cleared to Play.
    • Megan Gustafson: Out (Lower Leg).
    • Cheyenne Parker-Tyus: Out (Maternity Leave).
  • Indiana Fever:
    • DeWanna Bonner: Out (Personal Reasons).

The Aces are currently not in their championship form, and even with Wilson's return from concussion protocol, they lost to the Storm in their last game. They have lost three straight games, and their record is currently 5-7. The Aces will be looking to A'ja Wilson to lead the team to victory.

Additional notes The game is highlighted by the matchup between two MVP candidates, A'ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark. The Fever are slightly favored to win on Sunday, despite being the away team. Their spread is set at -1.5 with a -122 money line, while the Aces are +1.5 with a +102 money line.
