Dave Portnoy has declared A’ja Wilson the best player in the WNBA after the Las Vegas Aces eliminated Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever from the playoffs with a 94-83 victory in Game 3. The Aces secured the first-round series 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals. Wilson had another outstanding performance, scoring 36 points and grabbing 10 rebounds on 11-of-18 shooting.
Chelsea Gray contributed 23 points, and Jackie Young finished with 18 points. Portnoy expressed his disappointment in the Fever's inability to "get over the hump" in the playoffs, stating that he needed a better sports weekend. The Fever's struggles continued, with Caitlin Clark scoring only seven points after a strong start and Kelsey Mitchell leading with 23 points.
The Aces' win marked a second consecutive year of eliminating Clark and the Fever from the playoffs. Las Vegas will now face the winner of the Golden State-Dallas series in the semi-finals, while Indiana will have to contend with another off-season following a playoff run that ended against Wilson and the defending champions.
