The Aces are still undefeated at home and Young is averaging 19.2 points per game on 57.1 percent shooting from the field. A’ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray both scored 17 points in Thursday’s win. However, the Aces will be missing key bench contributor Riquna Williams (left foot sprain) for the next few weeks.
