The WNBA preseason kicked off on Friday, and an unexpected sight occurred. A'ja Wilson, the Las Vegas Aces superstar and reigning three-time MVP, showed up in a full UConn Huskies outfit. This was not a betrayal but a result of a friendly agreement with her teammate Kiah Stokes. The two had agreed that the loser of the 2025 NCAA national championship game would have to wear the other's gear. South Carolina lost to UConn, and Wilson honored the bet. Even though the circumstances were unusual, Wilson handled it with style. The Aces' preseason opener was against the Dallas Wings, which now features UConn's latest star, Paige Bueckers.
