From healing on the bench to turning heads on the red carpet, Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson proved there’s no stopping her both on and off the court. Earlier, she faced a hard elbow from Sparks forward Dearica Hamby on her face, which forced her to exit the June 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks and enter concussion protocol.
After being cleared, she returned to the court against the Storm on June 20. Now, Wilson re-emerged just days after winning against the Indiana Fever (June 22) in a jaw-dropping all-white ensemble at the 2025 IX Awards.

Despite the recent health scare, Wilson made a triumphant return both on and off the court. Her appearance at the 2025 IX Awards on June 24 turned the limelight as she stepped out in a stunning white dress paired with minimalistic jewelry and sleek pumps. The monochromatic look, captured in exclusive photos shared on her official Instagram account, was a masterclass in off-duty glamour. The white ensemble had cutout mesh detailing right above her thighs, giving it a playful “little white dress” vibe. These modern cuts paired well with the pristine white color and drew admiration from fashion insiders and WNBA fans alike.
The 2025 IX Awards are held by the Las Vegas Aces each year to celebrate the passage and impact of the landmark Title IX legislation. It also opened the door for women’s participation in organized sports at every level. The award also donates a portion of proceeds to local charities that support girls’ and women’s sports.
Meanwhile, Wilson returned to the court against the Seattle Storm on June 20. This was her first game after she was put in the concussion protocol. She notched 20 points and 14 rebounds (double-double) in 34 minutes. This marked her 78th career 20-point, 10-rebound game, eclipsing Hall of Famer Sylvia Fowles’ record.
