Las Vegas Aces (20-8) at Chicago Sky (10-18) — Game Preview
The Las Vegas Aces (20-8) travel to face the Chicago Sky (10-18) at Wintrust Arena on August 1, 2026. Las Vegas enters averaging 91.7 points per game, outpacing Chicago’s 87.8 mark and reflecting the distance between a conference contender and a Sky team still finding its footing this season. A’ja Wilson anchors the Aces attack at 26.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game on 53.5% shooting, and she is just as reliable from the free throw line at an 85.0% clip. Point guard Chelsea Gray complements her inside, distributing 7.1 assists per game against just 3.0 turnovers while logging 33.0 minutes a night to keep the Las Vegas offense organized.
On the other side, Kamilla Cardoso gives Chicago a frontcourt answer, putting up 14.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game on a 59.0% shooting clip that tops Wilson’s own mark from the floor. Both rosters are missing key rotation players to injury, which puts more scoring pressure on the players who do take the floor. Natasha Cloud runs the point for the Sky at 4.6 assists per game, and how well she controls tempo against Gray’s on-ball pressure could decide whether Chicago keeps this one competitive.

Players to Watch: Las Vegas Aces vs. Chicago Sky
Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson — C. Wilson is putting up a season worthy of the league’s attention, averaging 26.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game while connecting on 53.5% of her shots from the floor. She gets to the free throw line often and cashes in at an 85.0% rate, giving her scoring a reliable floor on nights the jumper isn’t falling. Her 7.8 defensive rebounds per game also anchor the Las Vegas frontcourt against a Chicago team leaning on its own interior scoring.
Running the point alongside her, Chelsea Gray distributes 7.1 assists per game while turning the ball over just 3.0 times, a ratio that keeps the Aces offense flowing over her 33.0 minutes a night. That ball security gives Las Vegas a steadying presence in the backcourt whenever the pace picks up.
Chicago Sky
Kamilla Cardoso — C. Chicago’s center is averaging 14.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, shooting an efficient 59.0% from the field, the top mark of any player featured in this preview. Her 5.9 defensive rebounds per game pair with 2.4 on the offensive glass, giving the Sky a two-way presence inside even in a rebuilding season.
At the point for Chicago, Natasha Cloud averages 4.6 assists per game against 2.2 turnovers, playing 28.1 minutes a night to keep the Sky offense organized. That assist-to-turnover balance makes her the steadiest ball handler on a Chicago roster still working toward consistency this year.
