WNBA Investigates $100K Sponsorship to Aces Players by Las Vegas Tourism Agency
May 18, 2024, 06:47 PM
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), the city's tourism agency, has announced a $100,000 sponsorship for each player on the Las Vegas Aces roster for the 2024 and 2025 WNBA seasons. This unprecedented move aims to recognize the players individually and encourage them to continue representing Las Vegas, with hopes of achieving a three-peat. However, the WNBA has launched an investigation into the sponsorship to determine if it complies with league rules. The average WNBA salary is approximately $115,000, making this sponsorship a significant financial boost for the players. The Aces recently responded to the announcement with a win against the Sparks.
