WNBA fans are in uproar after new footage emerged showing Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson appearing to commit a shocking and unsportsmanlike move against Indiana Fever’s Lexie Hull, just moments after the Fever delivered a dominating upset over the defending champs.
The intense matchup ended with the Fever blowing out the Aces in a surprise 91-75 victory, but it’s what happened immediately after the final whistle that has everyone talking—and fuming.
🎥 The Footage: A’ja’s “Unprovoked” Elbow?
In newly surfaced courtside video, as players were lining up for post-game handshakes, A’ja Wilson was seen exchanging words with Lexie Hull. As Hull turned to walk away, Wilson appeared to throw a subtle but sharp elbow into Hull’s lower back, causing the Fever guard to stumble forward and look back in shock.
While the moment was not shown on the national broadcast, fans who were courtside caught the act—and the clip has since gone viral on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter).
“That was intentional. No way that was an accident,” wrote one fan.
“Is A’ja losing it under pressure?” asked another.
😡 Lexie Hull Reacts: “I Didn’t Deserve That”
Hull addressed the incident during the post-game press conference:
“I’ve got nothing but respect for A’ja as a player, but that moment? That wasn’t basketball. I didn’t say anything to provoke it. I just hope the league sees it for what it was.”
Hull reportedly received treatment for bruising, but is not expected to miss any upcoming games.
📣 Fans and Analysts: “Suspend A’ja Now!”
The internet wasted no time calling for action:
#DirtyPlayByWilson and #ProtectLexieHull began trending within hours.
WNBA insiders and analysts blasted the league for what they call a “double standard” in star treatment.
“If this were a bench player, she’d already be fined and suspended,” said one ESPN analyst.
“Being an MVP doesn’t give you a free pass to hit people.”
🛡️ Aces Organization Defends Wilson
In a brief statement, the Las Vegas Aces said:
“A’ja Wilson is a passionate competitor. We’ve reviewed the footage and believe there was no malicious intent. Emotions run high after tough games.”
However, fans and critics aren’t buying it—especially with Wilson’s history of fiery on-court behavior.
👁️🗨️ WNBA Launches Formal Review
A league spokesperson confirmed that the WNBA is now formally reviewing the post-game incident and will determine within 48 hours whether disciplinary action is warranted.
According to league rules, intentional contact outside of gameplay can lead to:
Fines up to $2,500
Suspensions of 1–3 games
Public reprimands
🔥 A’ja Under Pressure?
Some speculate that the frustration behind Wilson’s move may stem from the Aces’ ongoing slump, with the team losing back-to-back games and struggling to find rhythm against rising stars like Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Lexie Hull.
“She’s used to winning. This isn’t the same dominant Aces squad anymore—and it’s showing in her attitude,” said a former player.
⏳ What’s Next?
A decision from the WNBA league office is expected within 48 hours
Lexie Hull is expected to continue playing, but may speak further on the issue
A’ja Wilson has yet to personally comment—but all eyes are on her next move
⚠️ Bottom Line: Will the League Protect Its Rising Stars?
As the WNBA reaches new levels of visibility and competitiveness, moments like this raise deeper questions:
Are superstars held accountable?
Will the league prioritize fairness over fame?
And how will the Fever respond the next time they face the Aces?
