US EditionAces Face Critical Stretch to Keep Championship Window Open
CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, JUL 28 – The Aces sit 13-13 and seventh in standings as multiple free agents loom, risking major roster changes if they miss or exit early from playoffs.
- Facing a pivotal stretch, the Aces, 13-13 and seventh, began Monday in playoff mode with the fifth through 10th teams separated by 3 1/2 games.
- Facing a pivotal stretch, the Aces began Monday with only Aaliyah Nye under contract beyond this season, as the collective bargaining agreement ends and a postseason miss could trigger major offseason changes.
- After trading Kelsey Plum in January, the Aces have Plum averaging 20.1 points and 5.9 assists while Loyd scores 10.8 points per game, and Candace Parker played just 18 games before a season-ending injury.
- The Aces remain without a general manager since Natalie Williams was dismissed in October, with Nikki Fargas working with Tonya Holley and input from Becky Hammon on personnel decisions.
- Looking ahead, the Aces would have to play as underdogs if they mount another title run, and Becky Hammon said next year's free agency will be like the 'wild, wild West'.
