Las Vegas Aces vs Chicago Sky starting lineups and depth charts for August 25 | 2024 WNBA Season

The Las Vegas Aces will travel to Illinois to face the Chicago Sky on Sunday with both teams looking to cement their place in the 2024 WNBA playoffs. Las Vegas is fifth in the standings with a 17-11 record and will be desperate to bounce back after consecutive losses to the Minnesota Lynx. The Aces are aiming for a historic three-peat after winning the WNBA championship in 2022 and 2023.

Despite possessing some talented players on the roster, the Sky have failed to find any consistency. Teresa Weatherspoon's team is barely holding on to a playoff position as we approach the final quarter of the season. They have an 11-17 record and every game will be critical.

It has been a rocky month for the Las Vegas Aces and the team has struggled since returning from the month-long WNBA break. Despite some disappointing losses, Becky Hammon has stuck with her usual starting five, aside from one minor change.

Forward Alysha Clark received the start over Kiah Stokes against the Lynx on Friday. Expect to once again see an opening lineup consisting of Jackie Young, Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray, Alysha Clark and A'ja Wilson.

The Sky are currently on a two-game losing streak and have lost three of their last four. They have rotated their starting five quite a bit this year but we can expect to see a team similar to the one that took the court against the Connecticut Sun.

Chennedy Carter, Lindsay Allen, Michaele Onyenwere, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso should start once again. With regards to injuries, the Sky will play the rest of the year without center Elizabeth Williams, who is out with a knee injury.

Reese is averaging 13.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 28 games this season.
