A'ja Wilson delivers double-double in WNBA debut | The State

A'ja Wilson scored 14 points in her WNBA debut Sunday as her team, the Las Vegas Aces, lost to the Connecticut Sun 101-65.

Wilson started the game played nearly 32 minutes, a team high, shooting 3-of-13 from the field. She added 10 rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals.

Wilson swept the national player of the year awards this past season, was a three-time All-American and led the USC women to their first national championship in 2017. Last month, she became the program's first No. 1 draft pick in the WNBA, going to the Aces.

It was revealed at her USC graduation this month that a statue will be built in her honor outside of Colonial Life Arena at a date to be determined.
