WNBA Injury Report Minnesota Lynx vs. Las Vegas Aces: Shorthanded Aces Face League Leaders, Is A’ja Wilson Returning?

Lynx are rolling into this matchup with momentum, while the Aces navigate another test

The Minnesota Lynx are back on top of the WNBA standings after another commanding win, while the Las Vegas Aces continue to fall, this time without a crucial name in their lineup.

The Lynx had a big win against the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday. They opened the game with intent, putting up 34 points to the Sparks’ 15 in a dominant first quarter. Setting the tone early, the Minnesota Lynx kept going at their opponents.

With a comfortable lead, Minnesota rotated freely, giving bench players valuable minutes. And with most starters resting by the second quarter, the Lynx still cruised to a 101-78 win over the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Las Vegas Aces are coming into this game after falling short against the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday. Unlike the recent outings, the Aces stayed competitive for four quarters, but still came up six points short. They lost the WNBA game by 70-76 against the Phoenix Mercury.

I cover NBA at the Playoffs. I specialize in covering breaking news, Previews, in in-depth analysis (breaking down numbers, complex stats, nuances of the game, and converting them into reader-friendly content). Furthermore, I got into the sports media while looking for an entry into the media industry. I love International Relations, and since entry without majoring in the subject was difficult, I got into sports. Now, while majoring in International Relations on one side, I also like covering sports as part of the journey as a young Journalist.
