📉 Team Trends
Dallas Wings (1-10)
Dallas is still looking for its first Commissioner’s Cup win after falling to the Phoenix Mercury 93-80 on Wednesday night. Despite the result, rookie guard Paige Bueckers made headlines with a career-high 35 points, marking a standout return to the lineup after missing time since May 29. Her scoring versatility gave Dallas a much-needed offensive jolt, though the Wings remain limited in the post without McCowan.
Las Vegas Aces (4-4)
The two-time defending champs are hovering at .500 after a 97-89 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. Jackie Young continues to deliver elite production, scoring 34 in the defeat, but the Aces’ defense struggled to contain LA’s balanced attack. Las Vegas will be looking to reassert itself at home in a key Cup game.
🏀 Previous Meeting – Preseason Lookback
The two teams met in preseason action on May 2 at the University of Notre Dame — a homecoming for stars Arike Ogunbowale, Jackie Young, and Jewell Loyd. In that contest, JJ Quinerly led the Wings with 16 points, while Young paced the Aces with 28.
Now, with regular-season stakes and Commissioner’s Cup implications on the line, expect both squads to come out firing.
