LAS VEGAS - The Las Vegas Aces end their two-game 2025 preseason slate on Tuesday, May 6, at home against the Phoenix Mercury. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. PT and the game will be broadcast locally on Vegas 34.

A'ja Wilson will be celebrating the release of her Nike "Pink A'ura" A'One shoe ahead of the shoe launch on May 6. The first 8,000 fans through the doors at Michelob ULTRA Arena will receive an A'One t-shirt. Additionally, activations on the concourse will include an A'One/Nike photo opportunity, an A'One custom cheer sign station, an A'One towel giveaway by the A'One concourse activation and the first 500 fans wearing A'One shoes will receive A'One shoelery.

Las Vegas is coming off their first preseason matchup against Dallas at Notre Dame, surging past the Wings, 112-78.

The Aces will be without Cheyenne Parker-Tyus (pregnancy), Dana Evans (knee) and Megan Gustafson (lower leg) for Tuesday's game.

At Notre Dame on May 2, Jackie Young highlighted her collegiate return to South Bend with a game-high 28 points, nine assists and five rebounds in 29 minutes of play. Fellow Fighting Irish alum Jewell Loyd chipped in 10 points in her collegiate homecoming. Rounding out the double-digit scorers were Wilson with 19 points, rookie Aaliyah Ny e with 17, Chelsea Gray had 13 and Tiffany Mitchell chipped in 10. The Aces outscored the Wings 20-8 in second-chance points and held a 40-28 rebounding advantage.

The new-look Phoenix Mercury comes into the 2025 season with movement to the roster, including signing Satou Sabally, Alyssa Thomas, Kalani Brown and Sami Whitcomb during free agency. This will also be the first season in 20 years that the Mercury will not have Diana Taurasi on their roster, as she retired this past offseason. Phoenix finished seventh in the 2024 regular-season standings with a 19-21 record. They were swept by Minnesota in the first round of the 2025 playoffs.

Las Vegas went 3-1 in the 2024 regular season against Phoenix, winning their final two matchups. Last season against the Mercury, Wilson averaged 31.0 points and Young averaged 22.8 points in the four games.

The Aces will then open the 2025 regular season on the road at New York on Saturday, May 17, at 10 a.m. PT on ABC.
