July 6 EST: The Las Vegas Aces come into Mohegan Sun Arena today not just looking for a win—they’re looking for a damn reset. Sitting at 8–9, the defending champs aren’t used to life below .500, and they sure didn’t like the taste of Thursday’s loss to the Indiana Fever, a game that slipped through their fingers like a missed box-out in crunch time.

Tip-off’s at 4:00 p.m. ET, and if you’re not watching, you’re missing two WNBA stories heading in wildly different directions—Vegas, grinding to find its old groove, and Connecticut, hanging on by a thread to salvage anything from a season gone sideways.
Aces Are Still the Danger Nobody Wants to Wake
Don’t let that record fool you. The Aces still have A’ja Wilson, and that means they still have teeth. She’s dropping 21.6 a night, getting buckets like she’s clocking in for work—and clocking defenders out while she’s at it. Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young round out a squad that, when it clicks, still feels like the bully on the block.
But that’s the rub: it’s not clicking. Not consistently. Not like it used to. Vegas is turning the ball over in spots where champions don’t. They’re letting leads go soft. And after back-to-back wins last week, they fell flat in Indy like a favorite stumbling off a long road trip.
You know they’ve got another gear. You feel it. The question is: when are they going to shift?
Connecticut’s Looking for Oxygen—And a Win
Then there’s the Connecticut Sun. 2–15. Nine straight L’s. You don’t sugarcoat this stuff—this is as bad as it gets. It’s not just the scorelines—it’s the missed rotations, the cold spells, the way they come out flat in their own building. It’s painful to watch a proud team play like the lights are too bright.
Injuries haven’t helped. Marina Mabrey has been out, and without her floor spacing and motor, Connecticut looks like a team searching for a pulse. The effort is there—but the execution is somewhere in the stands.
Still, credit to Stephanie White and her staff. They haven’t quit coaching. This is a group trying to build something through the fire. There’s fight in them—even if the scoreboard keeps saying otherwise.
Grit Meets Desperation
So today? Today’s a crossroads.
For Vegas, it’s about proving they can bounce back—again—and start stacking wins. For Connecticut, it’s about pride. About ending this damn losing streak before it becomes the defining headline of a summer gone wrong.
This isn’t just a July matinee. It’s a pulse check. It’s two squads facing the mirror and asking: who are we, really?
