LAS VEGAS -- Aces forward A'ja Wilson missed her second straight game Friday night in a 98-90 overtime win over the visiting Chicago Sky.
Wilson, who wore a boot on her right foot on the bench, also sat out the Aces' 93-85 loss to the New York Liberty in the Commissioner's Cup championship Tuesday. She rolled her ankle late in Sunday's win over the Sky, though returned to the game after a few moments in the locker room.
In her pregame news conference Friday, Aces coach Becky Hammon described Wilson's injury as "day by day" and did not provide additional specifics, though she did note that she did not expect this injury to be a long-term issue.
"She's tough," Hammon said. "I want to protect her as much as possible. She really wants to play and we're not going to rush."
Wilson, 29, missed just her eighth game over the past seven seasons and the 15th in her entire WNBA career. The 6-foot-4 forward leads the WNBA in scoring at 25.7 points per game. She is third in rebounds (9.4) and first in blocks (2.0).
The Aces will host the Indiana Fever on Sunday.
