How did A'ja Wilson perform against the Mercury?

A'ja Wilson looked dominant in her second preseason game. She played the majority of the first half, scoring all of her 14 points in the first two quarters. She played four more minutes in the third quarter before being pulled out by coach Becky Hammon.

Since it's the preseason, the Aces didn't need to play their starters for long periods. They allowed their bench players to get some reps. Deja Kelly, an undrafted rookie, might have earned herself a spot on the roster after scoring 15 points off the bench. She scored the last eight points, including a tough jumper with less than four seconds remaining in the game.

A'ja Wilson's shoes sold out after launch

After waiting for years, A'ja Wilson finally had her own signature shoe from Nike called the A'One. It was made available for the public on May 6, though some NBA and WNBA players, including Wilson's boyfriend, Bam Adebayo, had already rocked the shoes before its release.

According to WNBA Central, 3,000 pairs of the A'One "Pink A'ura" have already been sold by Nike.

Four more colorways will be released -- the "Blue Fury," "White," "Hyper Pink" and "Beta Blue."

Wilson is coming off one of the best seasons of her career. She won her third WNBA MVP award, but the Aces failed to three peat and were eliminated in the semifinals.

Wilson had an eventful offseason, being honored by her alma mater, the South Carolina Gamecocks, which retired her No. 22 jersey. She also went public with her relationship with Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo.
