Are the Las Vegas Aces Facing an Unseen Crisis Before the 2025 Season?
That seemed like a fair enough package for a player with elite scoring pop, but like seemingly everything else for Vegas this year, the addition hasn’t gone exactly as planned. Loyd’s production has improved after a brutal start, and she’s scored in double figures the past eight games. But double-digit scoring on average efficiency isn’t what the Aces hoped to get from Loyd; it wanted – and needed, as we now see – the high-octane scoring Loyd provided in Seattle for so long.
Tough Act to Follow
When you produce perhaps the greatest season in WNBA history like Wilson did last year, there’s a lot of pressure on the encore. And the 6-foot-4 center’s follow-up to her historically dominant 2024 campaign has been good – she’s third in the league in DRIP, which projects a player’s contribution to their team, while averaging 21.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
