Becky Hammon Calls Out WNBA Schedule as Aces Rest Star Players
Becky Hammon called out the WNBA schedule after the Las Vegas Aces revealed they would rest three stars against the Liberty.
Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon criticized the WNBA's demanding schedule, stating that it's worse than what the NBA experiences. The Aces rested their top three scorers, Aja Wilson, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray, for a game against the New York Liberty. This decision limited the defending champions, who are currently third in the WNBA Playoff Standings, to fielding a team without their star players.
Wilson, who leads the league in scoring and rebounds, and Gray, fourth and fifth in assists respectively, are all crucial to the Aces' performance. The Liberty, having had their top players available, were able to face the Aces without the impact of a rested squad.
