Following their back-to-back WNBA Championships, the Las Vegas Aces fell short in their pursuit of a three-peat last season. ESPN’s WNBA insider Kevin Pelton believes that Alysha Clark and Tiffany Hayes, both unrestricted free agents this offseason, could have a significant impact similar to that of players like Allana Smith and Courtney Williams with the Lynx last season.
Pelton points out how the Lynx’s signings of Smith and Williams last offseason strengthened their roster and led to an impressive playoff run. He now sees a similar potential with Clark and Hayes potentially shaking up the league.
“Keep an eye on unrestricted free agents who could amplify star talent in a similar fashion, including … the Aces’ duo of Alysha Clark and Tiffany Hayes.”
While there’s no certainty about where Clark and Hayes will end up for the 2025 season, their proven impact with the Aces makes them valuable assets for any team they join.
Examining Alysha Clark and Tiffany Hayes’ stats from last season in anticipation of the 2025 WNBA season
With the WNBA free agency period kicking off, fans are eager to see where players like Clark and Hayes will land. Both players have shown themselves as game-changers with the Aces in the past.
Clark, a three-time champion and past Sixth Player of the Year, maintained solid stats last season with an average of 6.0 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Hayes, also a past Sixth Player of the Year winner, posted averages of 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.
While both players are in later stages of their careers, their ability to impact games remains evident. It’s a waiting game to see where they end up as the 2025 season approaches.
