A'ja Wilson's Mom Needed Just One Word To Make Aces Star Regret Her Postgame Outfit originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson may have made history on the basketball court, but it was her mom who stole the show during Wilson’s postgame press conference.
Fresh off her record-setting performance in the Aces’ thrilling 104-102 win against the Golden State Valkyries, Wilson sat down with reporters at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas to discuss the game. However, before she could answer a question, her phone buzzed under the table.
“I’m sorry, can you say that one more time?” Wilson said, pausing mid-interview. “My mom just sent me a picture of the way I look on this press conference. She sent me a picture and was like, ‘Why?’ Okay mom, I’m sorry.”
Wilson, laughing, then pulled off her red headscarf right there at the press table.
The viral moment was captured and shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram, where fans quickly flooded the comments section with relatable reactions.

“Everyone needs a mama like this!” one fan wrote.
Another joked, “😂😂😂 can always count on mom to humble us.”
A third fan chimed in, “😂😂😂😂 Mama called a real-time family meeting!!!” echoing the universal feeling that moms always know how to keep their kids in check.
“That is so real! My mom would have done the same thing lol,” another follower shared.
Someone else imagined Wilson’s mom’s text was “definitely in all caps 😂.”
One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “I’m dying laughing cause this is our moms 😂.”
Wilson’s look that sparked the text from her mom was her pregame outfit, which she wore both to the arena and during the press conference.
The reigning WNBA MVP sported a white sleeveless basketball jersey styled as a short dress, featuring red and blue accents, with “Comets” and the number 14 on the front. She paired it with matching white shorts underneath, white knee-high socks, white athletic shoes, and the now-infamous red headscarf.
After missing games due to a wrist injury earlier in the week, Wilson came back strong. She became the first player in WNBA history to score 34 points, grab 16 rebounds and record two blocks in a single game while shooting an incredible 70% from the field.
Yet even on a historic night, Wilson learned one thing for certain: No one is safe from a mom’s real-time feedback—even an MVP.
