Wilson has been ruled out due to concussion protocol following an injury she suffered in the third quarter of a recent home loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. This will be her second straight missed game.

The Aces and the Sparks met on the court again Wednesday night, but this time with a different outcome as the Sparks took the win.
But the numbers also suggest that having Loyd on the floor is better than having her off the floor. Per PBP Stats, the Aces have a +0.19 net rating with Loyd on the court and a minus-10.12 net rating with her off the floor. To me, that says much more about how the team can't trust its guard depth than it says anything positive about Loyd.
