A’ja Wilson Defends Becky Hammon’s Ejection After Aces Loss to Dream
A’ja Wilson defended her head coach after Becky Hammon was ejected from the Las Vegas Aces loss to the Dream.
During the Las Vegas Aces' home game against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, head coach Becky Hammon was immediately ejected from the match in the second quarter, with five minutes and six seconds remaining on the clock. The ejection transpired after Hammon vocally protested to the referee regarding the lack of calls in favor of Wilson, leading to her and the official engaging in a heated exchange.
Despite Wilson trying to restrain her, Hammon continued her rant, earning her two technical fouls and resulting in her dismissal from the game. Following the event, Wilson defended her head coach, citing the inconsistency in the officiating as the issue. The Aces ultimately lost the game 97-82 to the Dream, with Aja Wilson contributing 27 points and 14 rebounds, despite the disruption from Hammon's ejection.
