Aces
Las Vegas Aces news, scores, highlights and game reports for the two-time WNBA champs, led by A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young.
A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young and Kelsey Plum combined for 64 points as the Aces cruised past the Phoenix Mercury to win their fourth straight game Wednesday.
Aces guard Kelsey Plum didn’t shoot the ball well to start the season, but she said her defense and playmaking have taken major strides as her offense returns.
Jackie Young scored 24 points, Kelsey Plum 21 and Chelsea Gray 17 to spark the Aces past the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday at Michelob Ultra Arena.
Aces point guard Chelsea Gray didn’t make the All-Star Game in 2022, but the ninth-year guard is thriving with the Aces this season while seeking her fifth All-Star appearance.
Fifth-year guard Jackie Young scored 28 points and led the Aces to a dominant home win over the Seattle Storm Thursday.
The Aces were forced to cancel a flight on JSX, a public charter-flight service, during their most recent road trip.
The Aces have been invited to the White House to celebrate their WNBA championship season, contrary to a tweet from the Aces’ A’ja Wilson.
The Aces have only been in Las Vegas since 2018, but they’ve already created some incredible memories.
The Aces are back home after playing six of their first eight games on the road. They take on the Seattle Storm at Michelob Ultra Arena at 7 p.m. Thursday.
All five starters scored in double figures, led by A’ja Wilson’s 21 points, as the Aces returned home after a weeklong road trip and defeated the Chicago Sky on Sunday.
Aces forward Candace Parker: “The way the NBA separated itself from the NFL and MLB is it’s been an employee, players-first league. I’d like to see that in the WNBA.”
The Aces fell behind early against the Connecticut Sun, and a 41-point eruption from wing DeWanna Bonnner helped seal the Aces’ first loss of the season.
With a win over the Connecticut Sun, the Aces would equal the franchise-record winning streak of 12, set by the San Antonio Silver Stars in 2012.
Aces forward A’ja Wilson had 23 points and 10 rebounds in a road win over the Connecticut Sun, who cut a 17-point deficit to three in the fourth quarter before losing.
