Aces coach Becky Hammon addressed reporters for the first time this offseason to introduce additions Jewell Loyd and Elizabeth Kitley.
It is a new dawn for the dynasty that is the Las Vegas Aces. The team is reshaping its identity by adding stars Jewell Loyd and Liz Kitley who were introduced at the team’s headquarters on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the Aces introduced two of their biggest off-season signings to local media: Jewell Loyd and Elizabeth Kitley. Loyd was acquired in a three-way trade that sent Kelsey Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks. Kitley was drafted 24th overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft but spent the entirety of last season rehabbing an ACL tear.
