Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson went to an Unrivaled game to cheer on Jackie Young and she even made a remark that is meant to praise the Laces BC player for her outstanding performance.

During the game, Young shot 10 of 17 from the field and 5 of 8 from beyond the arc. She reached her game-high 27 pints in just 18 minutes into the game.
More than her on-court comment, Wilson also added a comment on the video that seemingly teases Young for performing on a high level.
Wilson said: “Likeeee March is for the college kids RELAXXXXXX lololol.”
A’Ja Wilson, in the past, acknowledged the positive impact of the Unrivaled League on her teammates and the opportunities it provides for players to stay in the United States while earning money. However, she made it clear that she would not be joining the league this year, despite the allure of the financial benefits and the excitement surrounding the new league.
In her decision, Wilson highlighted the need for a balance between work and rest, especially given the demanding nature of professional basketball.
“Unrivaled seems great—my teammates are loving it,” Wilson said in an earlier interview. “Obviously, the money in it is amazing. And it’s like, dang, missing out. But wholeheartedly, not even trying to front, I just didn’t want to. I just want to protect my peace. Because once the season gets in, no one’s gonna think, Oh, you just got done playing Unrivaled, let’s take it easy.”
