The two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces have encountered a rocky start to the current WNBA season, displaying inconsistency in their performance over the first month. With a record of 5-4, the Aces have suffered three losses in their last four games, a departure from their previous season's dominance where they did not lose their fourth game until August.
One contributing factor to their struggles has been the absence of starting guard Chelsea Gray, who is still recovering from a leg injury sustained during the WNBA Finals last season, with no definitive timeline for her return.
