Las Vegas has scratched A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young for Sunday afternoon's game against the Liberty, the second game of a road back-to-back.
The FIBA World Cup tips off in less than a month, and its effects are already starting to be felt in the WNBA season. Multiple teams are practicing minutes management ahead of the tournament. The Golden State Valkyries have French star Gabby Williams on a reduced workload in August, and the Las Vegas Aces just benched A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young — all of whom will be competing for Team USA in Berlin — on the second day of a back-to-back, despite the Aces’ playing a nationally tele
