The Phoenix Mercury and Las Vegas Aces square off Sunday in a WNBA Commissioner’s Cup game that could prove crucial for both teams’ hopes in the midseason competition.
This will be the first meeting of the two teams during the 2025 season, though the Aces did claim an 85-84 preseason victory back in May. For Phoenix, this trip to Vegas will be about establishing more consistency after alternating wins and losses over the last seven games. The Mercury (7-4) will be hoping to replicate Wednesday’s 93-80 win over the Dallas Wings.
The Aces (5-4) snapped a three-game losing streak Friday in a four-point win over the Wings, which they picked up without star A’ja Wilson (who missed the game while in concussion protocol). Wilson’s status is unclear, and as the center leads Las Vegas in most statistical categories, Sunday would be a formidable test if she has to sit out a second straight contest.
