A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces are looking to accomplish something only done once before by winning a third WNBA championship in four seasons. The WNBA Finals will begin Friday in Las Vegas between the second-seed Aces and No. This year for the first time the two teams will play in a best-of-seven format as the league expanded its championship round from a five-game series. They are back in the championship round after losing to New York in the semifinals last season. Las Vegas won back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023.
