Aces honored with rings, 2nd championship banner as quest to three

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Las Vegas Aces received their championship rings and then unveiled and raised their WNBA banner, lifting it into place on Tuesday night alongside their first title banner won two seasons ago.

Las Vegas celebrated its back-to-back titles ahead of its 89-80 regular-season opener against the Phoenix Mercury. And, it doesn’t sound as if the Aces are finished.

“We’re back,” owner Mark Davis told the sellout crowd. “Not only are we back, we’re back-to-back world champions.”

He concluded by saying, “All I can say is let’s three-peat.”

Las Vegas brings its roster back for another run at the title, but point guard Chelsea Gray remains out with a leg injury suffered in last season’s Game 3 of the WNBA Finals.

The Aces debuted their new silver and black uniforms, more closely mirroring the unis of Davis’ other Las Vegas team, the Raiders.
