LVCVA sponsors Las Vegas Aces players again after WNBA probe

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is once again sponsoring Aces players, “offering each player on the roster $100,000″ after being probed by the WNBA last year, according to Callie Fin of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. It appears as if “every member of the team has signed contracts.” This development comes after the league said that it was opening an investigation into the Aces one day after the LVCVA announced the sponsorships in 2024. LVCVA President Steve Hill said that they have “not heard from the WNBA regarding the status of the investigation.” He confirmed that Aces Cs A’ja Wison and Kiah Stokes, Gs Jewell Loyd and Chelsea Gray, and F Crystal Bradford attended singer Janet Jackson’s residency at Resorts World last week “as part of the sponsorships” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 6/2). SI’s Blake Silverman noted the sponsorship does “not violate the WNBA’s salary cap because the LVCVA didn’t involve the club in the deal” and instead “worked with each individual player and agent” (SI, 6/2).
