The three times MVP of the WNBA, A’JA Wilsonhe returned from a wrist injury strongly on Saturday, scoring 34 points and 16 rebounds so that Las Vegas Aces they beat them Golden State Valkyries Visitors for 104-102. It is the first time in the season that Aces score 100 points or more.

A’ja Wilson injured his right doll (the one he does not use to throw) in the defeat of the ACES by 87-78 against New York on Tuesday and left the game ahead of time. He could not play on Thursday, when Las Vegas fell 70-68 against Washington, giving a partial of 12-2 to the mystics to close the game.

Wilson said she was determined to return to the court on Saturday against Golden State, who crushed Aces for 95-68 when they faced June 7 in San Francisco. Wilson praised the medical staff of the ACES to help her return so soon.

“It’s very difficult for me to lose games,” he said. “Sometimes I have a hard time following instructions because I want to be with my team. I will continue playing because they will make sure it is ready and comfortable.

“Once I start up, once I get to the rhythm, the last thing I think is about my wrist. As for Dolores, everything is part of the game.” I will overcome it like anyone in this league, which is probably going through many things.

Wilson also lost three games earlier this year due to the cerebral shock protocol.

“It has been difficult for me this year, because this is probably the time I have been injured in my career,” he said. “So it has been a new space for me, but it has also allowed me to reflect on myself and see the game with other eyes.”

Wilson, Zurda, said she felt lucky that the injury was on the right wrist. He showed no signs of being oxidized in the shooting: Wilson conducted 12 of 16 field shots and 9 of 12 from the free throw line. Wilson said that the rebounds and the points allowed in second opportunities harmed the ACES in Washington, so he was determined to lead Las Vegas in rebounds. He also added 4 assists and 2 caps.

Wilson received help from his partner Jackie Young, who also had a great day with 30 points after lighting 9 of 14 field shots and 11 of 11 from the line. ACES, which have already had many ups and downs this season, now have a 10-11 record. Las Vegas has a match, Wednesday in Dallas, before the recess of the stars game. Wilson (Holder) and Young (Reserve) are All-Stars.

“We know what happened the last time we played against the Valkyries there,” said Young. “We just wanted to go out today and do the job. A’ja gave us a great start and really kept the rhythm throughout the game.”
