“I Was a Little Worried”: A’ja Wilson Shares Honest Admission About Her Game Ahead of WNBA 2024 Season

The Las Vegas Aces have enchanted their fans for the previous two seasons. And now the two-time consecutive champions are back to make their claim to the third title. Recently, the Las Vegas franchise played their first preseason game against the Puerto Rico National Team at Columbia. And as expected the crowd had gathered to watch the home girl – A’ja Wilson. After the game, Wilson gave her post-match press conference reflecting on the match. And her answers gave the fans a glimpse into what goes on in the mind of a champion.

Wilson was present in the post-match press conference on Saturday. She shared an honest admission about her game and how good she felt in the flow. Fans were curious to hear more about Wilson’s appearance.

A’ja Wilson doesn’t feel in full flow

Wilson candidly spoke about her gameplay and flow. She also reflected on the season that lies ahead and her preparation. The video of the same was uploaded in a YouTube channel ‘TJ Sports Queens’ and attracted a lot of viewers. “Am I 100% ready to play? Yes. Am I 100% just getting into the flow of things? Not just yet. But this was definitely a good time to get out and flow and… and have a game. It’s very hard to mimic games and practices so it’s good to kind of get one underneath our belt for us to see timing, spacing, and ball movement. So I feel good and that was a shocker coming in because I was a little worried but no we still have a lot more things that we could go to but it was a good game,” Wilson stated.

The Las Vegas Aces defeated Puerto Rico by a blowout margin of 102-50. Wilson was the top scorer for the match with 27 points. She smoked a double-double with 14 rebounds and 2 assists. It was her brilliance that extended the lead for the Aces and started their pre-season campaign on a strong and positive note.

Other than that, the 27-year-old put away 10-for-15 field goals and hundred percent of three-pointers. She also made 6-for-8 free throws. Thus Wilson as per her admission is not in full flow but is still ready to dominate the charts in the upcoming WNBA. And fans will be glad that she got a chance to test her timing, spacing, and ball movement in the game. And hopefully, just like this game, Wilson will continue her performances even in the regular season.

What’s next for A’ja Wilson?

The Aces will begin their campaign against the Phoenix Mercury on May 14 at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. She will be trying her best along with the team to go for the treble and take home the championship title one more time. Whether they will be successful or not, we will see once they start facing their opponents.

Wilson will hopefully soon get in her cent percent flow, taking her team to new heights during the regular season.
