A'ja Wilson was the subject of social media taunting after the Las Vegas Aces succumbed to an embarrassing 89-73 loss to the Indiana Fever in the WNBA semifinals, where they never seemed to find a way to control the game. It was their first defeat since an infamous 53-point blowout to the Minnesota Lynx that sparked a 16-game winning streak in the regular season.

Wilson came under scrutiny from Indiana Fever fans for "ducking" her media duties. However, players occasionally skip media duties after brutal losses despite being contractually obligated to do so.

However, Wilson was the woman of the hour after becoming the four-time WNBA MVP earlier Sunday, and the media wanted to talk to her after the game. Her absence drew comments from social media users.

One Fever fan on Threads labeled Wilson as a "coward," which caught the attention of Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green.

Here’s the fan’s full comment:

“A'ja Wilson just won MVP and is ducking postgame media after putting up a stinker. But I bet if the Aces win on Tuesday, she will be front and center. You can sit there and have a conference about winning the MVP, but can’t be asked questions about the ass whopping you just took? She is a COWARD!!!!”

Green, who has been vocal about A'ja Wilson due to their shared ties as Klutch Sports clients, came to her defense.

“A coward is a strong word,” he said. “Sometimes you just don’t want to talk. But you probably wouldn’t know what that’s like… also not sure whopping fits there.”

Another fan rebuked his comment that it was not a "whopping" loss:

"Yeah, it kinda does, they got belt to ass."

Green bit back in reply:

“Not speaking after a game loss doesn’t make you a coward… go build a bridge and get over it.”

Wilson had a rough night, finishing with 16 points in the 16-point loss. Her MVP rival, Kelsey Mitchell, doubled the Aces star’s scoring with a game-high 34 points.

The loss is not terminal, but it leaves them trailing in the five-game series. The Fever now have home-court advantage with a 1-0 lead. Game 2 is scheduled for Tuesday in Las Vegas.

The comment after the Aces star added another WNBA MVP to her list of accomplishments on Friday, boosting her status as arguably the greatest WNBA player ever.

Wilson practically carried the Aces, a team that needed carrying, from the 10th seed to the No. 2 seed on the back of a 16-game winning streak.
