A’ja Wilson and Aces aim for No. 2 seed in final WNBA week
Summary

The Las Vegas Aces, led by A’ja Wilson, return to action this week with four games against eliminated teams. Currently holding the No. 3 seed with a 27-13 record, the Aces could surpass the Golden State Valkyries for the second seed in the WNBA playoffs if they win two of those matchups. They face the Seattle Storm on Thursday and Sunday, with additional games against the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury. Wilson’s recent rest from the World Cup could enhance her performance as the Aces look to secure home-court advantage in the playoffs.
