A’ja Wilson, the standout center for the Las Vegas Aces, recently made headlines for her amazing performance on the court and an awkward moment on social media with her mom, Eva Wilson. This happened right after A’ja made history as the first WNBA player to score 1,000 points in a single season, hitting this mark in a game against the Connecticut Sun.
On September 16, 2024, Wilson scored 29 points in a game that solidified her place in WNBA history. The Las Vegas Aces won 84-71, improving their chances for the playoffs. After this big win, Wilson and her teammate Sydney Colson had some playful banter on social media.
Colson congratulated A’ja Wilson on X (formerly Twitter) with a cheeky comment about “taking home two balls,” referring to the game balls from her record-setting performances. However, Colson even used a smirk emoji, which caught the attention of fans and family.
Wilson played along with Colson’s comment, saying she was “just adding another pair.”
But things got a bit awkward when her mom saw it. Eva Wilson tweeted “A’JA!!” in surprise and concern.
This made A’ja quickly backpedal, saying her account had been hacked as an excuse for the cheeky reply.
This A’ja Wilson incident shows how using social media can be tricky for athletes. While fun interactions with teammates and fans can be great, they can also lead to questions about what’s appropriate, especially with family watching. Information spreads fast online, so even harmless jokes can quickly become misunderstandings or PR issues.
Even with this little hiccup, nobody can ignore the fact that Wilson has always been a key player for her team on the court. Her stats this season—averaging 27 points, 12 rebounds, and leading her team toward another championship—show her skill and dedication.
As A’ja Wilson prepares for the playoffs and aims for her third MVP award, this incident might remind her and other athletes to balance professionalism with social media interactions.
