The Las Vegas Aces and Los Angeles Sparks are both searching for a spark of inspiration—and Wednesday's clash could be a turning point for one of them.
Once the standard-bearer of the WNBA, the Aces have stumbled badly out of the gate. Their latest defeat, a lopsided loss on the road to the expansion Valkyries, has only intensified the scrutiny. Despite A’ja Wilson putting up MVP-caliber numbers, Las Vegas is out of rhythm on both sides of the floor. Jewell Loyd has yet to find her footing in Vegas, offseason exits have thinned the bench, and the team’s once-clear identity is in flux.
As for the Sparks, they're still climbing out of the crater left by last season's 8–32 campaign. The blockbuster acquisition of former Aces star Kelsey Plum offered hope, but LA still faces an uphill climb. They too fell short against the Valkyries in their most recent outing, and at 3–7, playoff ambitions are hanging by a thread. The potential return of rookie standout Cameron Brink would be a major boost, but realistically, this remains a long-term rebuild.

Las Vegas Aces vs Los Angeles Sparks Team News & Key Performers
Las Vegas Aces Team News
Meanwhile, the Aces are also floundering. In Saturday's defeat, they managed just 35.5% from the field, coughed up more turnovers than assists (11-to-13), allowed 22 fast-break points, and were outscored in the paint 38–26. Wilson managed 17 points and six rebounds, though on an inefficient 5-of-13 shooting night. Chelsea Gray added 16 points, but Jackie Young had just four, well below her 16.1 PPG average.
Wilson continues to be a dominant force with 22.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, but Las Vegas needs much more from Jewell Loyd, who’s contributing just 9.4 points, 4.7 boards, and 2.3 assists so far.
Right now, the Aces' offense is a shadow of its former self, producing just 101.7 points per 100 possessions (9th in the WNBA) and giving up 104.1 (also 9th). Their shooting beyond the arc remains solid—fifth in both attempts (.398) and efficiency (34.6%)—but that’s about where the positives end.

Offensively, the Sparks sit fifth in adjusted efficiency (104.6 points per 100 possessions) but struggle at the other end, ranking 10th in defense (106.7).
