Download Game Notes

Las Vegas' 2023 season was one for the ages as it became the first WNBA team to repeat as champions in more than 20 years. The Aces set the league record for wins in a season (34) in the process and rolled through the postseason with an 8-1 mark, upending the New York Liberty three games to one in the WNBA Finals. In the title-clinching Game 4, Las Vegas found itself without two starters in point gawd Chelsea Gray and center Kiah Stokes, both of whom were injured in Game 3. The Aces were also without the services of future Hall of Fame center/forward Candace Parker, who missed the final 22 games of the regular season and the entire postseason with an injury.

The Aces led the WNBA in both offensive (113.0) and defensive efficiency (97.7) in 2023, becoming just the 8th team in league history to do so. They set the league record in offensive efficiency, and nearly became the first team in the 27-year history of the W to lead the league in all four shooting percentages, finishing first in field goal percentage (.486), 2-point field goal percentage (.549) and free throw percentage (.840), while finishing second in 3-point field goal percentage to New York (.372 to .374).

Las Vegas' 2024 roster has a few additions and subtractions from the 2023 version. Three-time WNBA champion and two-time MVP Parker announced her retirement just prior to the start of training camp. During free agency, the Aces added 2019 NCAA Player of the Year Megan Gustafson. The 6-5 center has made 53.3% of her field goal attempts and 39.1% of her 3s over the past her past two seasons in Phoenix. In the draft, Las Vegas picked up a pair of guards in Syracuse's Dyaisha Fair, the third-leading scorer in NCAA history, and Iowa's Kate Martin, a two-time NCAA Championship Game participant, who averaged 13.1 points and 6.8 rebounds, while connecting 37% of her 3-pointers as a senior.

The Phoenix Mercury finished the 2023 season with a league-worst 9-31 record despite the return of center Brittney Griner. Last year, Diana Taurasi became the first player in WNBA history to score 10,000 or more points in a career, and she returns for her 20th season a pro.

In the offseason, the Merc signed point guard Natasha Cloud and forward/center Rebecca Allen, while trading for Kahleah Copper. Cloud is a two-time WNBA All-Defensive Team selection who has ranked in the top five in the league in assists per game in each of her last four seasons. Allen brings a career 3-point shooting percentage of 36.4 to the Mercury over her eight years in the W. Copper averaged 16.2 points and 4.8 rebounds over her last four seasons in Chicago. Phoenix also hired a new head coach in 12-year veteran NBA assistant coach Nate Tibbetts.

Las Vegas Aces, Dos Caras Tequila Announce Partnership

# results[].description
LAS VEGAS (May 12, 2024)—The Las Vegas Aces today announced they have entered into a multi-year partnership with Dos Caras Tequila. Woman-owned and family-operated, Dos Caras is made with 100% Blue Weber agave and sustainably produced in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico, using clean, renewable energy.

“The Las Vegas Aces are proud to partner with a brand that shares our commitment to showcasing incredible and powerful women in our community,” said Las Vegas Aces President Nikki Fargas. “Led by Lupita Arreguín, Dos Caras makes an exceptional tequila—with a team of women driving the quality control, bottle line, and packaging.”

“Strive for excellence,” said Dos Caras President and Founder Lupita Arreguín, “and success will follow. The Las Vegas Aces exemplify this principle at every level of the organization. Dos Caras is honored and thrilled to be an official partner of the Aces. Salud to the back-to-back WNBA World Champions and their journey to a three-peat!”

Dos Caras Tequila will receive in-arena and social media brand exposure, and will be integrated into various in-arena activities, including the popular “two shots” fan chant prior to Aces free throws.

ABOUT THE LAS VEGAS ACES
One of the WNBA’s original franchises, the Las Vegas Aces trace their lineage to the Beehive State where they began life as the Utah Starzz. They relocated to San Antonio in 2003, before moving to the Sports & Entertainment Capital of the World prior to the 2018 season. Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis purchased the team in 2021, and Aces fans were rewarded with back-to-back WNBA Championships in 2022 and 2023. The 2022 title team also became the first major professional sports franchise to bring a championship to the state of Nevada.

After becoming the first WNBA team in more than two decades to repeat as champions a year ago, the 2024 season brings with it the opportunity for an even rarer three-peat. That effort is being led by the franchise’s core four of two-time M’VP A’ja Wilson; three-time WNBA champion Chelsea Gray; and two-time title winners Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young. At the helm is 2022 WNBA Coach of the Year Becky Hammon—one of the most decorated players in league history, and one of only two head coaches to win championships in their first two seasons.

In addition to the Aces success on the court, they have been equally successful off of it. In March 2022 the team moved into a 50,000 square foot headquarters—the first complex built solely for use by a WNBA team. In March 2024, Las Vegas became the first WNBA franchise to sell out its season ticket allotment. Heading into the regular season the Aces have sold out seven of their home games, and are on pace to become the first WNBA franchise to sell out its entire slate of home contests.

DOS CARAS TEQUILA PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER LUPITA ARREGUÍN
“I was born in Jalisco, long considered the heart of tequila. I have a deep connection to the land and its spirit. Tequila has always been a part of my family’s culture. At every event and family meal, tequila is more than a drink. It’s a transformative energy, shared in celebration and togetherness. The spirit of family culture and Mexican heritage guides everything we do at Dos Caras.

“Dos Caras is owned and operated by my family here in Mexico. We have a close and lasting relationship with our distillery, Tequilera de Arandas. The distillery is located in the highlands of Jalisco. The region is famous for its Blue Weber agaves, which grow from mountain to mountain as far as the eye can see—transforming for eight years in the red, mineral-rich soils.

“Sustainably produced without additives (or celebrities), our portfolio includes four expressions of tequila—from the Crystalline Soul of our Platinum Blanco to the Old Soul of our five-year Extra Añejo. As these names suggest, Dos Caras embodies the mysteries of transformation. But our tequila has no secrets—only a dedication to land, attention, and a time-honored process.”

Aces President Nikki Fargas' Remarks at the White House.
Mister President, Madame Vice President. Thank you so much for once again inviting the Aces to the White House as we celebrate our back-to-back championships. Although 1992 is ancient history for many standing behind us, I’m certain, Mr. President, that you remember that year’s election season quite vividly. There were only 2 women in the Senate at the time—Nancy Kassebaum and Barbara Mikulski. But in 1992, a then record 4 women won seats including the first black woman ever elected, Carol Mosley Braun. Following the swearing in of that class, headline writers dubbed 1992 “The Year of the Woman.” Senator Mikulski was a bit insulted, noting that “Calling 1992 the Year of the Woman makes it sound like the Year of the Caribou … or the Year of the Asparagus.” She added, “We’re not a fad … a fancy … or a year.” Four years later, the WNBA announced “We Got Next.” At the time, many thought the league was just a fad … a fancy. But visionaries like David Stern and Val Ackerman, alongside some of the best athletes in the world set about proving the doubters wrong. Altering the landscape of professional sports and of American politics have both proven equally challenging. Change is slow. But three decades later, that change is real. Today, the Senate counts 25 women among its number, and the second most powerful person in the world is not just a woman, but a woman of color. The WNBA has likewise seen dramatic growth in ticket sales, merchandising and TV ratings, while forward-thinking corporate partners begin to understand the value in investing in women. We are not a fad. We are not a fancy. We are not a year. We are the WNBA, 28-years strong and counting. Mister President. Madame Vice President. Thank you again for so graciously welcoming us to our nation’s capital. We would now like to add to your athletics wardrobes as two-time MVP A’ja Wilson, and Point Gawd Chelsea Gray present you with Aces jerseys, just in time for the WNBA’s season opener on May 14.

Multi-GRAMMY Award Winner Big Boi to Perform at Halftime of Aces Home Opener

# results[].description
LAS VEGAS (May 8, 2024)—Atlanta rapper and multi-GRAMMY Award winner Big Boi, a diamond selling artist, rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor and philanthropist, will perform at halftime of the Las Vegas Aces home opener on Tuesday, May 14. As with all national acts who perform at their home games, the Aces worked through Femme It Forward to book Big Boi for his halftime performance.

Tip against the Phoenix Mercury is at 7 pm, but fans are encouraged to arrive early, as prior to the game the Aces will receive their 2023 WNBA Championship rings and unveil their championship banner in Michelob ULTRA Arena.

Antwan André Patton, better known to Southern Hip-Hop and progressive Rap fans as Big Boi, featured as one half of the iconic Outkast duo. The first Outkast studio album “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik” debuted at No. 20 on the U.S. Billboard 200 in 1994. In 2008, the Atlanta rapper released his first two solo singles, and his debut solo album in 2010, the latter of which reached as high as No. 3 in the USA on the Billboard 200, U.S. R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts.

Following a succession of high-profile album releases, Big Boi released “Boomiverse” in 2017. The smash single "All Night" sound tracked a high-profile Apple Animoji commercial, blew up radio, and clocked 40 million streams within a year. The song also hit the Top 30 on the pop chart and Top 10 at Rhythmic. In addition to his music career, the Hip-Hop legend recently starred in an unscripted Hulu series, Big RV Remix, a renovation-based series in which he and business partner, Janice Faison, renovate, redo and remodel trailers for small businesses of some of the world’s biggest celebrities.

LAS VEGAS (May 6, 2024)—Las Vegas Aces General Manager Natalie Williams announced today that the team has waived nine-year WNBA veteran guard Bria Hartley.

Hartley was selected No. 7 by Seattle in the 2014 WNBA Draft and traded to Washington that day. After playing three years for the Mystics (2014-16) and three for New York (2017-19), the 2014 WNBA All-Rookie Team member landed with Phoenix ahead of the shortened 2020 ‘wubble’ season. She was averaging career-highs of 14.6 points and 4.5 assists in 13 games before a torn ACL sidelined her for the remainder of the year.

Hartley returned from injury in time to see action in the Mercury’s last six regular season games in 2021, then played in 10 postseason contests for Phoenix, which fell to Chicago in the WNBA Finals. Hartley’s 2022 season, during which she played for both Indiana and Connecticut, was cut short by another ACL tear in late July. She did not see action in the league in 2023.

Las Vegas (April 30, 2024)—Las Vegas Aces General Manager Natalie Williams announced today that the team has signed three-time WNBA Champion Chelsea Gray to a contract extension. "Chelsea Gray is definitely one of the top point guards in the world,” said Williams. “She is the consummate floor general of our team.  There was no doubt about us wanting to sign her to an extension through 2025." “I love this franchise, this team and the city of Vegas,” said Gray. “It’s become my home. It’s my family’s home. I’m about championships and chasing history. We’re so close and we’ve created a trust, a bond, and want the best for each other all the time. I get to play alongside some future hall of famers that love winning as much as I do. We’re chasing a legacy here in Vegas.” A nine-year WNBA veteran, Gray enters her fourth season with the Aces in 2024. She earned Finals MVP honors after leading the franchise to its first WNBA title in 2022, and she was integral in the Aces winning a second-straight championship in 2023. Gray’s professional highlights include:

2023, 2022 & 2016 WNBA Champion

Drafted No. 11 by the Connecticut Sun in 2014, Gray sat out her first season due to a right knee injury suffered as a senior at Duke. She was traded to Los Angeles ahead of the 2016 and captured her first WNBA title that year. After five years in LA, Gray was signed by Las Vegas as an unrestricted free agent in February 2021. Over her nine seasons playing in the W, Gray scored 3,683 points (12.4 ppg) and is one dime away from dishing out 1,500 assists. She currently ranks 8th in WNBA history and 4th among active players in career assists per game (5.0 apg) and 9th overall and 3rd among active players for total assists. Despite only competing in an Aces uniform for four years, Gray is listed 4th in franchise history for assists (692) and 1st for assists per game (6.467). Further, she tallied just the second triple-double in franchise history, and first for points-rebounds-assists, when she tallied 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists against New York on Aug 17, 2023.

The dunks. The dimes. The boards. The blocks. The smile. The swagger. The memories Candace Parker created for a generation of women’s basketball fans will remain ingrained in our collective conscience forever, but she has given so much more to the game beyond her accolades and statistics.   As a teammate and mentor, a mother and wife, a baller, broadcaster and businesswoman, she has inspired countless young people, both boys and girls, to chase and achieve their dreams.   Although the majority of her career was played in opposing uniforms, we were blessed to have her as part of our championship team a year ago. We are saddened that she won’t be a part of our three-peat aspirations, but we look forward to welcoming Candace back to Las Vegas as an Aces alum, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter in her life has to offer.   Thanks for the memories, Candace.   The Las Vegas Aces.

LAS VEGAS (April 19, 2024)—The two-time defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces today announced three additions to their sports medicine staff. Ciara Burgi joins the team as director of health and performance, Jerrica Thomas will serve as the lead rehabilitation specialist and Bryson Creer is the new lead athletic trainer.

“We are excited to announce that Ciara Burgi, Jerrica Thomas and Bryson Creer are joining the Aces as part of our sports performance team,” said Las Vegas Aces president Nikki Fargas. “The physical and mental well-being of our players is always our highest priority. Ciara, Jerrica and Bry are among the best in the business in their respective fields, and will play an important role in our quest for a three-peat this summer.”

Burgi, who earned a doctorate in physical therapy from Duke University in 2014, joins the Aces after three-plus years with the NFL Houston Texans, where she spent the past two years as the return to performance lead for the team. While there she co-created and implemented an athlete-centered interdisciplinary return to performance system, ensuring continuity of care for injured athletes across the disciplines of athletic medicine, strength and conditioning, sport science, and nutrition.

Prior to her work with the Texans, Burgi served as a physical therapist for Duke Athletics for three years, merging physical therapy, strength and conditioning and sport science to maximize athlete potential and enhance the student-athlete experience. Burgi completed an NCAA Division I Athletics fellowship at Duke University, a manual therapy fellowship through Institute for Athlete Regeneration and is a sports residency trained physical therapist, in addition to being a board-certified clinical specialist in both sports and orthopedic physical therapy.

As director of health and performance for the Aces, Burgi will be tasked with building a modern, cutting-edge high-performance team, co-creating systems and processes with Thomas, Creer and lead performance coach Jeremiah Welch to maximize the athlete experience, athlete health and preparedness and athlete development with the mission of continuing to elevate the championship standard.

Thomas, who will be supporting the 2024 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team in Paris, is a board-certified sports clinical specialist with 10 years of experience. She comes to the Aces from USA Track & Field, where she has worked since 2019. For USA Track & Field, Thomas collaborated with health care team members to prepare athletes for elite performance at competitions around the world, while promoting injury risk reduction and safe return to play for Olympians and world champions.

In 2019 she also launched her own physical therapy and rehab company where she served professional athletes and weekend warriors on a concierge basis. Thomas graduated from Arkansas State University with her doctorate in physical therapy in 2014 and earned her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and exercise science from Louisiana Monroe in 2011.

Thomas is passionate about empowering athletes by providing an unsurpassed commitment to whole person care. As a member of the Aces health and performance team, Thomas will use her diverse clinical skillset to maximize the potential of each athlete and will lead the recovery and regeneration program for the team. Passionate about education and service, she will co-lead initiatives that prioritize educational and social impact ranging from the global female athlete health professional community to the local Las Vegas community.

A 2017 BYU graduate in exercise science, Creer earned a doctorate in physical therapy from Northern Arizona University in 2020 and a Master of Science in athletic training from BYU. Creer, who was part of the Oklahoma City Thunder sports medicine staff during the 2022-23 season, returns to the WNBA after a sports medicine internship with the 2022 Phoenix Mercury

As a member of the Las Vegas health and performance team, Creer will be in charge of maximizing athlete health and safety during practices and games in addition to using his extensive professional basketball medical experience and clinical skillset to prepare the athletes to perform at an elite level. Creer will also co-lead educational and social impact initiatives with Thomas to promote and elevate clinical excellence in women’s sports medicine throughout the WNBA and North America.

Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer Carolyn Peck and Indiana Basketball Hall of Famer Krista Blunk return to handle color commentary and play-by-play duties, respectively, this season. ABOUT THE LAS VEGAS ACES One of the WNBA’s original franchises, the Las Vegas Aces trace their lineage to the Beehive State where they began life as the Utah Starzz. They relocated to San Antonio in 2003, before moving to the Sports & Entertainment Capital of the World prior to the 2018 season. Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis purchased the team in 2021, and Aces fans were rewarded with back-to-back WNBA Championships in 2022 and 2023. The 2022 title team also became the first major professional sports franchise to bring a championship to the state of Nevada. After becoming the first WNBA team in more than two decades to repeat as champions a year ago, the 2024 season brings with it the opportunity for an even rarer three-peat. That effort is being led by the franchise’s core four of two-time M’VP A’ja Wilson; three-time WNBA champion Chelsea Gray; and two-time title winners Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young. At the helm is 2022 WNBA Coach of the Year Becky Hammon—one of the most decorated players in league history, and one of only two head coaches to win championships in their first two seasons. In addition to the Aces success on the court, they have been equally successful off of it. In March of 2022 the team moved into a 50,000 square foot headquarters—the first complex built solely for use by a WNBA team. In March of 2024, Las Vegas became the first WNBA franchise to sell out its season ticket allotment. Heading into the regular season the Aces have sold out four of their home games, and are on pace to become the first WNBA franchise to sell out its entire slate of home contests.
