Las Vegas Aces vs. Connecticut Sun Preview
The Las Vegas Aces are coming off a disappointing 2024 season, failing to win their third consecutive championship. A'ja Wilson had the best year of her career, but Chelsea Gray missing time early in the season didn't help. They made some changes in the offseason, replacing Kelsey Plum with Jewell Loyd.
On the other hand, the Connecticut Sun decided to rebuild and traded DiJonai Carrington and Alyssa Thomas. They also parted ways with coach Stephanie White and let her sign with the Indiana Fever. They have a combination of veterans and young players, though their outlook for the season is not good.
