Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson continues to impress fans with her viral pregame outfits.
Arguably, the best player in the WNBA, A’ja Wilson, showed up to T-Mobile Arena ready to make a statement in more ways than one.
Wilson arrived in a red and white cheerleader outfit on Tuesday before the Aces took on Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.
The white crop top she wore featured her jersey No. 22, and she paired it with a red skirt and white fishnet stockings. Even her purse made noise, as it was shaped like pom-poms.
In the game, Aces guard Kelsey Plum poured in a game-high 34 points, while A’Ja Wilson scored 28 points while blocking five shots and grabbing nine rebounds on the night. Wilson also had one assist and two steals.
On the other side, Caitlin Clark struggled as she scored 13 points on 4-12 from the field and 1-7 from behind the arc. While she dished out 11 assists, she also turned the ball over six times and committed five fouls, per ESPN.com.
A’ja Wilson And Caitlin Clark Contribute To Largest WNBA Crowd in 25 Years
On Tuesday night in Las Vegas, fans packed the stands to watch the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces defeat the Indiana Fever 88-69.
The attendance was 20,366, which not only set a new franchise record for the Aces but also was the largest WNBA crowd in 25 years.
The attendance is thanks to the star power on both sides. The Aces feature the likes of A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young, while the Indiana Fever has Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston.

Much has been said in the months leading up to Caitlin Clark and Diana Taurasi doing battle on the court.
It all started with Taurasi having much to say about the No. 1 draft pick back in April.
‘Reality is coming, there’s levels to this thing,’ she told Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter, when asked about Clark getting ready to play against grown women in the WNBA.
‘And that’s just life, we all went through it… You look superhuman playing against some 18 years olds but you’re going to come [play] with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time,’ Taurasi added.
‘Not saying it’s not gonna translate, because when you’re great at what you do, you’re just gonna get better,’ she continued. ‘But there is gonna be a transition period, where you’re gonna have to give yourself some grace as a rookie.’
On Sunday, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever were on the road to face the Phoenix Mercury in a highly anticipated matchup.
