Becky Hammon told reporters she doesn't think there's any long-term concern with A'ja Wilson's injury. She is optimistic

What happened: Becky Hammon told reporters she does not believe there is any long-term concern with A'ja Wilson's injury and is optimistic it will need only a "few days" to heal. Hammon said the issue felt worse once Wilson got off the court than it did in the moment. Wilson is listed as out.

Why it matters: Wilson is the WNBA's leading scorer at 25.7 points per game and the constant in the league's MVP conversation, so even a brief absence is felt. A short timeline limits the disruption and keeps her availability for upcoming games largely intact.

By the numbers: Wilson leads the WNBA in scoring at 25.7 points per game. She has missed just six regular-season games over the past seven seasons, a durability mark that frames why a multi-day setback is treated as minor.

What to watch: Watch whether Wilson returns inside the few-day window Hammon described and how the team manages her minutes once she is cleared.
