Las Vegas Aces Issue Statement on League Findings

Las Vegas Aces News Release


The Las Vegas Aces are deeply disappointed by the outcome of the WNBA investigation. We are committed to supporting all our players to the fullest extent allowed by the WNBA. Our actions have always been consistent with our responsibility to hold ourselves to the highest professional standards, and the facts we presented were consistent with these standards. The well-being of our players and their families has and will always be at the forefront of who we are.

The WNBA's determinations about Becky Hammon are inconsistent with what we know and love about her. Becky is a caring human being who forges close personal relationships with her players. We stand behind Coach Hammon as she continues to lead the Las Vegas Aces.

As expected, the facts did not demonstrate that the Aces violated the salary cap by paying players "under the table" or acted impermissibly during the 2023 free agency period.

We look forward to continuing to support our players, coaches, employees, and the Las Vegas community.
