Championship or Bust for Las Vegas Aces this Season?
???? ???? ???? “Reigning MVP” A’Ja Wilson shines on the blazing cover of Las Vegas Weekly. She explains in her interview how they came so close to a championship last season and how they hope to rise above their challenges with a win. “I’ve never been this eager before to play. I’ve been working so hard this offseason just to get my mind right, my body right,” Wilson tells Las Vegas Weekly.
The source says that she earned MVP last year with her best campaign yet and that two of their important players, Liz Cambage and Kelsey Plum, were out of the game last season. However, both have returned eager to win and the stakes are higher. After three years of coming so close to a championship, this year is deemed to be either being a championship or a bust. We’re rooting for Wilson and the team to finally see all their hard work come to fruition.
Be Seduced into Getting Your Vaccine at the Strip Club

Only in Las Vegas, right?!?
