LAS VEGAS (AP) — Criminal charges were dropped Thursday against Las Vegas Aces player Riquna Williams after the alleged victim in a July domestic violence incident at their home stopped cooperating with prosecutors ahead of a preliminary hearing to determine if the case should go to trial.
Williams’ attorney, Brandon Albright, told reporters that Williams hopes to rejoin the team for WNBA playoffs that begin next week.
“It’s our hope that in short order she’ll be able to join her team,” Albright said.
Williams played for the University of Miami before she was drafted into the WNBA in 2012 by the Tulsa Shock.
