Winning another MVP award is only going to inspire A'ja Wilson more in trying to lead the Aces to win the WNBA title this season. They moved closer to accomplishing that mission when they took care of business in the semifinals against the Seattle Storm, winning the best-of-5 series, three games to one; the Storm won Game 1 of that matchup but A'ja Wilson and the Aces roared back with three victories in a row. In the series-clinching 97-92 Aces win, A'ja Wilson dropped 23 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the field while also grabbing 13 rebounds, swatting three shots, and dropping two dimes in 40 minutes of excellent all-around performance.
Now, Wilson and the Aces will just have to wait for the winner of the other semifinal matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun.
On her way to capturing the 2022 WNBA MVP award, A'ja Wilson averaged 19.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, while making 50.1 percent of her shots from the floor.
