Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson gave her teammates an emotional and encouraging message as they approach the final stages of their pursuit for their second WNBA championship in a row. 

The team is on the brink of securing the title, standing just one victory away from glory. They currently hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five championship series against the New York Liberty.

"I love them. We kind of miss out on saying those things when we're in these moments, and it's a lot of emotion, a lot of mental games, physically, all this. At the end of the day, I love them & we've got enough," the two-time WNBA Most Valuable Player said about her teammates.

Game 4 of the 2023 WNBA Finals is scheduled for Wednesday night, October 18, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Two key players out for Las Vegas

The Aces were dealt with a major setback after point guard Chelsea Gray was ruled out, at least for Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, following an injury to her left foot that she sustained in Game 3.

Aside from Gray, starting center Kiah Stokes will also miss the potential championship-clinching game, stating that she is unsure of when her injury happened and that she woke up with discomfort in her foot. 

"I'm bummed for Chelsea and Kiah, obviously. It's a big blow [in] big moments for them and to not be able to be out there," Aces head coach Becky Hammon said.
