The annual WNBA GM survey named Paige Bueckers as the top pick to launch a franchise and A'ja Wilson as the favorite to win the 2026 MVP.
Las Vegas leads 2-0 after hitting seven of its first nine shots, including four 3s, and scoring a WNBA Finals-record 38 points in the opening period.
Aces starting guards Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young and Kelsey Plum combined to take over Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Liberty on Sunday. "Our trio of guards, I thought, were pretty ridiculous," Vegas coach Becky Hammon said.
The Liberty led by three points at half. They trailed by 13 early in the fourth. What went wrong for New York? What adjustments did Las Vegas make?
The Aces are looking to repeat as champions. The Liberty are the last original franchise without a WNBA trophy. While the matchup was inevitable, their journeys to get here were very different.
The Aces and Liberty will meet in the 2023 WNBA Finals in a battle of superteams. Game 1 is Sunday.
