On Tuesday, the WNBA announced that Aces forward A’ja Wilson is the Western Conference Player of the Week for games played from June 27-July 7.
It is the 19th Player of the Week honor for the two-time M’VP, moving her alone into 7th place for most career Player of the Week awards.
Wilson averaged league-highs of 25.2 points and 3.2 blocks per game, while adding 9.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals a game. She also connected on 53.1% of her field goal attempts, 36.4% from distance and 84.4% from the line in leading the Aces to a 5-1 record.
This marks the 3rd Player of the Week honor for Wilson this season. She also earned both the May and June Western Conference Player of the Month awards.
Heading into a 3-game road stretch, the front-runner for the 2024 M’VP award is averaging league-bests of 27.0 ppg and 2.7 bpg to go with 10.9 rpg (2nd in the W), 2.7 apg and 1.8 spg, while shooting 52.6% from the field, 37.9% from 3-point range and 85.4% at the line.
