Footage of A’ja Wilson arguing’ with Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon surfaces after Fever win- as fans fume over tactics that ‘isolated’ rookie
A’ja Wilson had a funny response to her former coach Dawn Staley after she called her out for blocking Kamilla Cardoso during Chicago Sky vs LV Aces game on Thursday.
Staley recorded herself reacting to Wilson blocking Cardoso’s shot in the fourth quarter of the game. Staley was shocked and upset and sent a clear message to Wilson over that play.
A’ja Wilson took to X to respond to her former coach, reminding Staley that she always told her to go hard on every play.
“It’s the groans and screams in the background 😂😂 but @dawnstaley always told me don’t take any plays off …now she wanna fight 😂😂😂 sorry bookie 🤭,” Wilson quote-tweeted the video.
Wilson and Staley teamed up for four years, from 2014 through 2018, winning the championship together in 2017. Kamilla Cardoso also helped Staley secure the championship last season before declaring for the WNBA Draft in a star-studded class alongside Caitlin Clark and Sky teammate Angel Reese.
In the end, Wilson got the last laugh since her Aces dominated the Sky, getting the 95-83 win at Wintrust Arena. She finished the night with 31 points, six rebounds and three assists, while Cardoso didn’t have the best game, scoring five points to go alongside eight rebounds and three assists.
