“Most privileged player”: Fever fans fume after A’ja Wilson gets questionable jumpball call against Lexie Hull
Indiana Fever fans were unimpressed with the officiating after A’ja Wilson won a jumpball call against Lexie Hull from an unfavorable position. During the third quarter of Thursday’s 81-54 win for Indiana, Hull grabbed a defensive board after successfully boxing out Wilson.

However, the Aces star looked to win the ball from behind, grappling Hull from the back in the process. While many felt that it should have been a foul against Wilson, the referees called it a jump ball.
Even the broadcasters were surprised by the call. The contact appeared to be excessive for a 50-50 whistle, and it left several Fever fans infuriated. Many felt that Wilson had a favorable whistle all game, making 13 trips to the foul line, only four fewer than the entire Fever team.
A’ja Wilson wages lone war in embarrassing loss to Caitlin Clark-less Indiana Fever
A’ja Wilson gave her all in Thursday’s loss against an Indiana Fever team without Caitlin Clark. The Fever’s star point guard remained sidelined for the contest with a groin injury. Wilson was the only player to make more than two field goals for the Aces in an ugly offensive game. She shot 9 of 18 and finished with 29 of the team’s 51 points. Wilson was 11 of 13 from the free-throw line.

Jackie Young, with six points, was the second-highest scorer. No other Aces player scored more than four points. The Aces shot 26.2% on 12 team assists, including 3 of 16 from 3. They went 19 of 22 from the free-throw line.
Las Vegas couldn’t handle the Fever’s defensive intensity. Indiana was imposing from the get-go, primarily looking to attack the paint and force turnovers.
The Fever became the first team this season to limit their opponents to under 60 points in consecutive games, having held the Minnesota Lynx to 59 points on Tuesday in the Commissioner’s Cup final.
