Las Vegas Aces vs Seattle Storm Team News & Key Performers
Las Vegas Aces Team News
The big question heading in? Whether or not A’ja Wilson will suit up. The reigning MVP has been sidelined since suffering a head injury against Los Angeles on June 11 and entering concussion protocol two days later. Her absence has left a major void, as she leads the Aces in nearly every key stat. But Las Vegas has embraced a "next woman up" approach, leaning heavily on Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd, Kiah Stokes, and Jackie Young to keep them afloat.
Still, the Wilson-less Aces have stumbled. Turnovers have plagued them — they coughed it up 21 times in their recent road loss to Minnesota, which the Lynx turned into 27 points. Through the first eight games, Vegas was averaging just 11 turnovers a night. That number has ballooned to 18 over their last three without their star.
Seattle Storm Team News
Skylar Diggins-Smith continues to drive Seattle’s offense, averaging 17.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. She’s been red-hot from deep lately, putting up 20 points per contest over her last four outings.
Defensively, Ezi Magbegor has been a force, swatting 2.3 shots a game — a career-best — while averaging 8.3 points on a sizzling 63.2% shooting over her last three appearances. Gabby Williams has also been a pest on defense, leading the league in steals at 2.7 per game and ranking as the top guard in combined steals and blocks (3.25 per game).
The Storm have drastically improved their offensive efficiency compared to last season, now leading the WNBA in both overall shooting percentage (.473) and three-point accuracy (.377) — a far cry from their 2024 ranks of 8th and dead last, respectively.
Wilson and Magbegor are part of an elite trio this season, as the only players averaging over 2 blocks a game (2.6 and 2.3, respectively).
