In an interview with USA Today, A’ja Wilson reiterated her motivation for not joining Unrivaled, which was to prioritize rest during the WNBA offseason.
“Always much-needed,” Wilson said. “I love the time that I can spend on the court, but also off the court as well. Whether that’s just being a daughter or sister and everything in between. It was much-needed rest and I’m excited to get back to work.”
