The matchup in Seattle also marks the start of the Commissioner’s Cup, an in-season competition that pits the Eastern and Western Conferences against each other and runs from June 1-17. The Storm captured the first CC title, while the Aces won it in 2022 and advanced to the CC Championship in 2023.  

Led by A’ja Wilson’s season-high 35 points, the Aces enter Sunday’s game off a 96-81 win against Los Angeles on Friday. Jackie Young tallied a season-high 26 points and Chelsea Gray recorded 15.

In the win, Wilson’s 35 points was the third-highest scoring game in the league in 2025 thus far, behind Kelsey Plum and Arike Ogunbowale, who each had 37-point games. She also became the first player in WNBA history to total 35+ points, 10+ rebounds, 3+ steals and 3+ blocks in a game and became the first player in league history to total multiple games with 35+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists. 

After shooting 36% (9-25 3pt FGs) from 3-point range against Seattle, Las Vegas bounced back and shot 48% (12-25 3pt FGs) from beyond the arc against the Sparks. The Aces defense held the Sparks to a season-low 29.2% from 3 and turned 18 Los Angeles turnovers into 28 points.  

Las Vegas is 47-45 all-time against the Storm and 19-29 in Seattle. 

In the two games since their last meeting, the Storm went 0-2, dropping games against Minnesota and Atlanta. In the two games, Storm guard Skylar Diggins recorded 18 and 20 points, respectively, while Gabby Williams tallied 20 and 14.
