They were once the San Antonio (Silver) Stars, so technically, the Las Vegas Aces are still a hometown team for those who followed them all those years. And having Becky Hammon (who played for the Stars from 2007 until her retirement in 2014) as the head coach only makes their victory last night sweeter.
The Las Vegas Aces are the 2023 WNBA Champions.
After eight seasons as an assistant head coach for the San Antonio Spurs, Hammon took on the head coaching job in Las Vegas, the “other” town where her retired Stars jersey is displayed, the only retired jersey by the franchise to date.
