While most of the WNBA was enjoying an elongated break for the Olympics, A'ja Wilson was among those competing for the last two weeks for Team USA. With the Summer Games finally behind her, the former MVP joked on social media about having downtime.

Following the United States' gold medal win on Sunday, A'ja Wilson jokingly posted on X (formerly Twitter) about her minimal All-Star break finally starting.

Thankfully for Wilson, the Las Vegas Aces don't play their first game until Saturday. However, it will be a big matchup. They are slated to face off against the New York Liberty in a rematch of last season's WNBA Finals.

Before the break, Wilson emerged as the clear frontrunner for MVP. This season, she is posting dominant averages of 27.2 points, 12.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists. As for the Aces, they currently sit in fifth place in the standings with a 16-8 record.

Coming off an impressive run in the Olympics, Wilson will now attempt to keep the momentum rolling as the WNBA season ramps back up.
