South Carolina women’s basketball legend A’ja Wilson remains the best player in the world. The three-time WNBA MVP is coming off of her best overall season, one in which she broke multiple league records.

The Liberty currently own a 12-6 record coming into this matchup and are the third-best team in the entire league. Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, Natasha Cloud and Marine Johannes have all been instrumental in their success. 2024 Finals MVP Jonquel Jones was brilliant as well, but she’s been sidelined with a sprained ankle since mid-June.

A'ja Wilson's injury sidelines a WNBA star and opens the door for international players like Leonie Fiebich to rise. Is the league shifting globally?
