Overview

  • The Commissioner's Cup final will be played Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will stream exclusively on Prime Video.
  • Las Vegas star A'ja Wilson rolled her ankle late in Sunday’s 107-99 win over Chicago, finished with 30 points and 15 rebounds, and is listed as questionable on the Aces' injury report.
  • New York will be without forward Satou Sabally after she remained in WNBA concussion protocol and was ruled out for the game.
  • If Wilson is cleared to play the matchup shapes up as a Stewart‑Wilson duel that tests each team’s primary game plan while her absence would force the Aces to rely more on Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray and bench scoring.
  • The winner becomes the first franchise to claim the Cup twice and the players on the victorious team will split a $500,000 prize, a notable financial and prestige boost for either roster that has dominated recent WNBA title races.
