Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson recently opened up about a heated interaction with an Indiana Fever fan during an earlier game. On October 1, the 4x WNBA MVP shut down the Fever’s star-studded roster, including Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aaliyah Boston, in a win-or-go-home matchup at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Sin City. During the postgame conference, Wilson discussed what happened just days before.

“I mean, honestly, I have my days. I had my moment, because I’m human,” Wilson said to reporters before revealing she forced herself to move on for her team’s sake.

“But after a while, I understood I didn’t want to be a distraction to myself and to my team. And I knew what we had to do coming into tonight. So I put it behind me,” she explained.

The moment occurred in the fourth quarter after a foul call on Sophie Cunningham. Video shows a fan pointing at Wilson and appearing to approach her. Wilson clapped back at the unruly spectator, prompting her teammates and Aces security to intervene.

“I don’t know if you guys know me, but I don’t really get into the bullsh-t,” Wilson said after the moment. “I try to play my game, keep it pushing. But if I’m just walking, cause I just got the foul, I’m chilling, and if I see a man come at me, taking steps towards me and pointing at me, I don’t give a d-mn what you said. I don’t give a d-mn how you said it, the tone. That is unacceptable.”

Following the Aces’ electrifying win over the Fever just days later, Wilson said the moment had a serious effect on her.

“I prayed a lot. I cried a lot. I talked to a lot of different people, and the amount of love that I received today, the amount of Bible verses that I received, it reminded me I’m covered,” she said.

Wilson went on to say that because of her unshakable faith, she was putting the entire moment behind her and leaning on those she knows care about her.

“So I can’t really worry about anything else. I’m grateful to be surrounded by people that could constantly lift me up. Once I put that on the back burner, I had to come up. I had to show up for my team today, and I’m glad we got the win,” she stated.
