The Aces had championship aspirations for this season, but a roller-coaster offseason left them with more questions than answers.
Aces
The Aces are set to open the season against the Chicago Sky, the team they defeated in last year’s playoffs on a miracle shot from Dearica Hamby.
The roster was leaner than in a normal training camp to begin with, and Las Vegas has yet to have its full team available for a practice.
Alex Bentley signed with the Aces as a free agent June 16, but has missed most of training camp with a knee injury. She has averaged 10.2 points in seven WNBA seasons.
The opener begins a regular-season sprint of 22 games in 49 days that includes two games against each team. All games will be played in Bradenton, Florida.
The Las Vegas Aces began training camp for the upcoming WNBA season with less than their full roster, but they’re excited to be back on the court.
The Las Vegas Aces will be without center Liz Cambage for the WNBA season in Florida. Cambage is opting out because of health concerns.
Aces wing Angel McCougthry last week released images on her Instagram page of jerseys with the names of victims of police brutality.
The Aces lost guard Kelsey Plum last week to a season-ending Achilles injury and needed to bolster their depth on the perimeter.
The WNBA announced Monday that it’s finalizing plans for a 22-game season without spectators beginning in July at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Kelsey Plum, a fourth-year guard and former No. 1 overall WNBA draft pick, averaged 15.2 points, 7.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds for the Aces in last season’s playoffs.
The WNBA is working on a tentative proposal to play a 22-game season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, according to a report from ESPN.
The WNBA is considering playing its season at an MGM Resorts International property if it has a season this year, according to a report from The Associated Press.
Aces coach Bill Laimbeer wanted to hire Tanisha Wright as an assistant coach when the franchise hired him in 2017, but she played two more WNBA seasons before retiring.
The veteran center re-signed with the Aces on Tuesday after a brief stint in the team’s front office.
