The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final gets a trial run tonight, as the No. 2 Aces welcome the No. 5 Liberty to Las Vegas just one week before the Aces vs Liberty 2026 championship battle.
The Aces are hot off Sunday’s 92-73 blowout win over No. 7 Golden State, as Jackie Young averages 19.1 points in her last 10 games while WNBA scoring leader A’ja Wilson shoots 52.7% from the field.
New York is looking to curb a two-game skid. The Liberty fell to No. 9 LA in Sunday’s 98-97 buzzer-beater days after Friday’s 86-83 loss to No. 8 Washington snapped an eight-game winning streak.
Both teams have gone 8-2 across their last 10 games. They’re also entering their first meeting of the year averaging just under 90 points per game.
Injuries could make an impact, as Las Vegas remains without Dana Evans and Janiah Barker. However, Chennedy Carter (illness) is listed as questionable.
“I have to check in with her,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said Sunday, addressing Carter’s availability. “I think she might be ready to go. We’ll see how she’s feeling.”
