*In the latest example of being caught at the wrong place at the wrong time, A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces) found herself at the center of attention when a hot mic captured her playfully roasting her teammates following a surprising defeat to the Chicago Sky and a visit from Usher. The viral video has definitely induced giggles and ignited chatter throughout the sports community.
Tuesday’s game saw the Sky dominate the court against the Aces. Chennedy Charter’s impressive performance, netting 34 points, left Kelsey Plum struggling defensively. Angel Reese also made a notable contribution with another stellar double-double, marking her return to form after a previous streak-breaking performance against the Liberty. Despite A’ja Wilson’s fierce stat line of 28 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks, and three steals, it wasn’t enough to secure a win for the Aces, reports ForTheWin.
The postgame moment happened when nearby hot mics caught Wilson‘s light-hearted jab at her teammates. In a candid, NSFW video, she said to Sydney Colson:
“They ain’t did [expletive] all day, but they want to take a [expletive] picture with Usher,” referring to the famed singer who attended the game.
A’ja Wilson later addressed the incident with a humorous tweet (below):
