A'ja Wilson, the four-time WNBA MVP, has shouldered quite a workload in the first part of the season for the Las Vegas Aces and needed a break to rest and get ready for the playoffs.

Rhyne Howard scored 23 points, Angel Reese had 21 points and 10 rebounds for her league-leading 24th double-double, and the Atlanta Dream beat the Las Vegas Aces 97-82 on Tuesday night.

Three-time WNBA champion Jewell Loyd plays for more than her love of the game. Aces fan Piper has brought positive chants and cheers, rooting for the guard ever since Loyd joined the team in 2025.

The Las Vegas Aces lost to New York 111-71 on Sunday, but fans who gathered at Palms Casino and Resort for Channel 13's first watch party found reasons to celebrate anyway.

Without A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young, the Las Vegas Aces were no match for the New York Liberty, losing 111-71.

Chelsea Gray made two buzzer-beating 3-pointers after Caitlin Clark’s uncharacteristic mistakes, the first to force overtime and the second to give the Aces an 86-84 victory.
