“A’ja Storm”: WNBA fans awestruck as A'Ja Wilson gets silver hairdo matching Aces rebranding

The Las Vegas Aces are gearing up to defend their WNBA championship and secure their third consecutive title. During media day, A'Ja Wilson debuted a new hairdo, dyed in a grayish-white shade. This caused quite a stir on social media, with basketball fans likening her to a popular X-Men character.

The Las Vegas Aces did away with their red color for this season and came in with silver and black uniforms. In line with this, A'Ja Wilson expressed her creativity by dyeing her hair gray and white.
