The Las Vegas Aces will host the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday night in WNBA action.
The WNBA season will officially begin on Tuesday night for Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury as the team travels to Las Vegas to take on Kelsey Plum and the Aces at Michelob ULTRA Arena. The Mercury struggled last season, finishing in last place with a record of 9-31. The team may be off to a rough start for 2024, as well, after the team announced last night that it would be without Center Brittney Griner after she suffered a fractured toe ahead of the 2024 season opener. Griner averaged 17.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 blocks per game last season, reaching the All-Star game for the eighth time. Without the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, the Mercury will have an uphill battle on Tuesday night.
