Aces Look to Earn their First Win of the Season

In the loss, Aces center A’ja Wilson scored 31 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.

Last season, the Aces averaged 86.4 points per game last season, with most of those points coming from inside the paint.

In this game, the Aces will be without the talent of Megan Gustafson and Cheyenne Parker-Tyus. Gustafson suffered a leg injury in the offseason and Parker-Tyus is on maternity leave until the end of the season.

The Sun suffered an 85-90 loss to the Washington Mystics. They were up by as many as 15 but fell late in the fourth quarter.
