The Aces have had one of the WNBA’s most eventful offseasons, adding two-time league MVP Candace Parker and former All-Defensive team forward Alysha Clark—both two-time league champions—to the roster. Las Vegas is coming off of its first league title in 2022. Both players are set to make less than they did with their previous teams last season.

Megdal reports that the league is investigating the Aces for under-the-table payment offers to current players and prospective free agents, effectively circumventing the league’s salary cap.
