Las Vegas Aces, WNBA and New York Liberty
Digest more
Breanna Stewart is one of those players that makes the New York Liberty run. She's a pro's pro who proves all the time that she's truly made for the "bright lights, big city" mentality in New York. Still, even someone of Stewart's caliber needs down time.
Natasha Cloud stirred controversy with 'Trumpies' posts and warning to ICE about coming to New Yrok, adding to her history of political statements.

SB Nation on MSNIs Aces-Liberty still the WNBA’s best rivalry?Since the start of the 2023 WNBA season, the New York Liberty are 11-5 in all games against the Las Vegas Aces. So, is this still the WNBA’s best rivalry?
Despite this happening, the Liberty remain in the No. 4 position in the latest WNBA Power Rankings, according to The Athletic. A third-quarter surge from the Storm proved to be the Liberty's undoing on their home court.
The Liberty stars were taken off the board early by separate captains during Tuesday’s 2025 WNBA All-Star draft on ESPN’s pregame show ahead of the Liberty-Aces matchup. All-Star captain Napheesa Collier picked her former UConn teammate and fellow Unrivaled co-founder, Stewart, with the No. 2 pick.
New York Liberty fans are trying to speak a Caitlin Clark blockbuster trade into existence. From the moment Clark traded during the WNBA All-Star Draft to get Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello on her side, Liberty fans have been thinking about a big move.
The Liberty currently own a 12-6 record coming into this matchup and are the third-best team in the entire league. Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, Natasha Cloud and Marine Johannes have all been instrumental in their success. 2024 Finals MVP Jonquel Jones was brilliant as well, but she’s been sidelined with a sprained ankle since mid-June.
The Aces’ struggles center more on inconsistency, although reigning MVP A’ja Wilson did miss some time with a concussion. However, Las Vegas has some legitimate issues. The Liberty are a five-point home favorite Tuesday with a total of 165.5 points.
