Aces fall to Liberty with MVP frontrunner A'ja Wilson sidelined by ankle injury

Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson missed Sunday's showdown against the New York Liberty.

New York held on for a 75-71 win in a rematch of last season's WNBA finals. Jackie Young had a chance to tie the game in its final seconds with the Liberty leading, 73-71. But Breanna Stewart blocked her layup attempt, icing the win for New York.
