Aces resting A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young versus Liberty in second of back-to-back games

The Las Vegas Aces are resting star players A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, and Jackie Young for their game against the New York Liberty on August 9, 2026, the second of a back-to-back matchup. The decision comes after a grueling three-game stretch against the Indiana Fever, Minnesota Lynx, and Liberty, during which Wilson and Gray appeared worn down in a loss to Minnesota. The Aces opted to give their key players rest rather than risk further fatigue.
