Las Vegas Aces beat New York Liberty 104-99; Chicago Sky win 84-83 over Aces
The Las Vegas Aces defeated the New York Liberty 104‑99. A’ja Wilson scored 33 points with 10 rebounds and Jackie Young added 27 points and nine assists. New York’s Breanna Stewart recorded 26 points, moving past Candace Parker to rank 10th on the WNBA all‑time scoring list.
A day later, the Chicago Sky edged the Aces 84‑83 on a last‑second three‑pointer by Sydney Taylor, who finished with 29 points. Aces star A’ja Wilson had 36 points and a double‑double, while Jackie Young contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago.
Off the court, the league removed a social‑media video that appeared to show Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers joking about a bet on their own game, prompting a statement that the post was meant as light‑hearted. Additionally, the Chicago Sky faced a roster decision as the Minnesota Lynx offered developmental player Chloe Bibby a standard contract, forcing the Sky to decide whether to match the offer before the trade deadline.
