The Las Vegas Aces have begun their 2025 WNBA training camp in Henderson, aiming to secure a third consecutive league title. The team returns with championship experience while incorporating changes made during the offseason.
The reigning two-time WNBA champions established their training camp base in Henderson as they prepare for the upcoming season. Their focus is set on repeating their recent success.
A notable roster change occurred with the trade of Kelsey Plum for Jewell Loyd. Loyd, a multi-time All-Star and former scoring champion, joins the Aces, adding a different dynamic to the team's offense and chemistry.
Superstar A’ja Wilson enters the season following a strong 2024 campaign. Wilson remains a central figure for the Aces, drawing considerable attention on and off the court, including the recent launch of her Nike A’One shoe.
The team's leadership includes coach Becky Hammon and experienced players like Chelsea Gray, who, along with Wilson, played key roles in previous championships. Their familiarity with the team's system provides continuity.
The Aces also added younger talent through the 2025 WNBA Draft, selecting guards Aaliyah Nye, Harmoni Turner, and Deja Kelly. These players offer potential depth as they acclimate to the professional level.
Team president Nikki Fargas spoke positively about the current state of the organization. She highlighted the integration of new players and the team's commitment to community engagement within Las Vegas.
Fargas described the team's current mindset as displaying "hunger" and a positive "vibe" as they work towards their objective in training camp.
