The Las Vegas Aces are entering a crucial WNBA free agency period without a general manager, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the team. All-Star guard Kelsey Plum, a vital member of the Aces’ “Core Four,” is an unrestricted free agent and hasn’t committed to returning.
The team is expected to use the core designation on Plum, guaranteeing her a one-year supermax contract but limiting her ability to sign elsewhere.
The Aces face additional roster challenges with several key players, including veterans Alysha Clark, Tiffany Hayes, and Sydney Colson, entering free agency. With limited cap space and no GM in place, President Nikki Fargas and Head Coach Becky Hammon will lead a committee-based approach to navigate the offseason and maintain the team’s competitive edge.
