The Las Vegas Aces and the Connecticut Sun face each other on Tuesday in their second game of the 2025 WNBA season. The last time they faced off, Las Vegas completed their regular season sweep against Connecticut, going 3-0 against the Sun in 2024.
The Aces finished the 2024 season with a 27-13 record, securing the fourth seed in the postseason picture. Their run at the three-peat fell short in the second round, where they lost to the New York Liberty 3-1.
On the other hand, the Sun rode their defense to a 28-12 finish, just ahead of Las Vegas in the standings. They swept the Indiana Fever in the first round before pushing the Minnesota Lynx to the brink in the second round before losing 3-2.
Both teams had intriguing offseasons, albeit for different reasons. The Aces pulled off a deal that landed them Jewell Loyd from the Seattle Storm in the three-team deal that sent Kelsey Plum to the LA Sparks and the second overall pick to Seattle this winter. The Sun, however, lost their entire starting lineup and were forced to bring in new stars as they tried to recover from a big loss.
