A'ja Wilson's pregame outfit ahead of Saturday's matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and Golden State Valkyries garnered plenty of attention.
Wilson has been settling herself back into the Aces' rotation after missing their previous contest against the Washington Mystics on July 10. She suffered a wrist injury against the New York Liberty on July 8, which limited her to 14 minutes of action in that contest.
Making her return after a one-game absence, Wilson decided to show up in style. She donned an outfit that stood out as she took inspiration from Cynthia Cooper.
