NEW YORK (AP) — A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces are poised for a possible three-peat as WNBA champions and continue one of the greatest runs in league history.
They capped off a history-making regular season with a second consecutive championship and their core group of players — WNBA Finals MVP Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray — are all returning.
She stepped up Wednesday when Las Vegas needed her most, playing without Gray and starting center Kiah Stokes.
She was a major reason Las Vegas won 34 games in the regular season and went 8-1 in the playoffs.
New York should be Las Vegas' biggest obstacle in the Aces bid to three-peat.
