Las Vegas star A’ja Wilson injured her left leg after colliding with Liz Cambage in the third quarter of a 69-66 road loss to the Seattle Storm on Friday night.

Las Vegas Aces guards Sydney Colson and Sugar Rodgers hosted a basketball clinic for camp attendees at SkyView YMCA.
The Aces overcame an early 14-point deficit to score an 85-81 victory over the Washington Mystics — sans star forward Elena Delle Donne — at Entertainment Sports Arena in Washington D.C.
Las Vegas, at 10-5, has the best record in the WNBA, but was annihilated by Washington in their first meeting June 20, and was in the midst of getting annihilated last Friday before an earthquake forced a postponement.

Kayla McBride scored 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting and made a season-high five 3-pointers, and Liz Cambage added a season-high 21 points to go with 11 rebounds.
The Aces moved past the postponement of Friday night’s game and embarked Saturday on three-game, eight-day road trip that coincides with NBA Summer League — an 11-day event that several players had hoped to be a part of.
An earthquake forced the postponement of the Aces’ game against the Washington Mystics on Friday night.
Kelly Raimon, who played pro basketball for nine years in the WNBA and pro volleyball for six years on the AVP Tour, is in her second year as an assistant coach with the Aces under Bill Laimbeer.
