After traveling for over 25 hours, the Las Vegas Aces players decided not to play a game against the Washington Mystics on Friday night.
“To all of our WNBA fans around the world, We regret that the Aces were not able to take the court tonight against the Washington Mystics,” the statement said. “We trust that you know this decision was not made lightly. There is nothing we enjoy more than playing in front of the most rabid fans in professional sports night in and night out, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment that was created for the fans, workers and anyone else who may have been affected by tonight’s cancellation.
