The Aces' road to a third straight WNBA title begins at home. Las Vegas will take on the Mercury for the first game of the season on Tuesday, May 14.
It's a game of the best of the best as A'ja Wilson takes on Diana Taurasi. But for Phoenix, there's a lot more to prove besides a win. The Mercury finished last season with the worst record in the league, 9-31, despite being led by two of the best in the world. They added more vets in Kahleah Copper and Natasha Cloud in the hopes of getting Phoenix back on top. What better way to get it started than by hitting the ground running?
Both teams will be missing key players, as Aces star Chelsea Gray will miss the opener with a leg injury and Mercury stalwart Brittney Griner could miss multiple weeks with a stress fracture in her foot.
Even without Candace Parker, Las Vegas is still the team to beat. But if Wilson has it her way, that won't be happening any time soon.
