Wilson sustained the concussion in Wednesday’s 97-89 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. She was struck on the face as she went up to defend a drive to the basket by the Sparks’ Dearica Hamby. Wilson took herself out of the game with 1:17 left in the third quarter, immediately pulled a towel to her nose and did not return.

After the game, Aces coach Becky Hammon said Wilson was bleeding from her head and would need to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Losing Wilson, even for one game, is a big blow for the Aces, who are off to a disappointing 4-4 start. Now, they’ll have to face No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers — who just returned from concussion protocol and an illness — without the three-time MVP when they take on the Wings in Las Vegas.
