BEFORE THE GAME

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Aces are looking to finish out their three-game homestand with a victory against the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday afternoon.

Star player A'ja Wilson could still be out of Sunday's game due to a head injury from Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks. Did that stop the Aces from soaring to victory over Dallas on Friday, though? Not at all. The Aces beat the Wings 88-84.

Along with Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young are playing strong as the team's highest scorers averaging more than 14 points per game — with the star trio making up 70% of the team's scoring for this season so far.

Phoenix sits at the fourth place spot in league standings, just one level over the Aces. They're coming off a victory over the Dallas Wings on June 11.

Sunday's matchup at Michelob ULTRA Arena marks the annual Aces Kids Day-themed game. The first 7,500 fans in attendance will get a BUCKET$ 'squish' stuffed mascot! It's also a Commissioner's Cup game.
