WNBA Investigates Aces' Sponsorship Deal with LVCVA Amid 89-82 Win
May 18, 2024, 11:59 PM
The WNBA has initiated an investigation into the Las Vegas Aces following the announcement of a sponsorship deal by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). The probe aims to scrutinize the payments made to Aces players under this agreement, considering the league's salary cap regulations. Aces coach Becky Hammon and star player A’ja Wilson have expressed their support for initiatives that benefit franchises, players, and teams. The LVCVA's CEO has stated he has not been contacted by the league but is confident that the deal is legitimate. The investigation comes in the wake of the Aces' recent 89-82 victory over the LA Sparks, which included a notable performance against former Aces player Dearica Hamby. Additional context and reactions, including details from the CBA, were reported by Cassandra and CallieJLaw.
