The Las Vegas Aces have added six-time All-Star Jewell Loyd in a historic three-team trade involving the Seattle Storm and Los Angeles Sparks. The blockbuster deal sees the Aces part ways with Kelsey Plum, who heads to the Sparks, while the Storm acquire the Sparksβ No. 2 draft pick in 2025 and former center Li Yueru. This trade, which involves multiple No. 1 overall picks for the first time in WNBA history, will become official on February 1.
We’ll miss you Kelsey, you brought home the first major championship to Las Vegas in back to back years, launched a cigar line Kingmakers here in town, and had some smokeshow moments.
And lets not forget about this rocket of an arm:
