A'ja Wilson brushed off a back injury concern to produce a commanding 27-point display as the Las Vegas Aces cruised past the Toronto Tempo 88-78.
Wilson had not initially appeared on the injury report but was downgraded to questionable ahead of tip-off. The exact nature of her back problem remains unclear, though her performance on court suggested she was anything but limited.
The win keeps the Aces firmly in contention for the No. 2 seed in the WNBA playoffs, with their record now standing at 26-13 - good enough for third in the league standings.
Wilson's season averages of 25.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game underline just how vital she is to Las Vegas's ambitions. Without her, the burden would fall heavily on Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray to fill the scoring void.
The Aces have the depth to remain competitive even if Wilson were sidelined, but there is no disguising the drop-off her absence would cause. As the postseason approaches, managing her fitness will be every bit as important as chasing seeding.
Las Vegas can take heart from the convincing nature of this result, yet all eyes will be on Wilson's back in the days ahead.
