Day two of the opening weekend in the WNBA and we're looking at another high-caliber matchup between newly refurbished Seattle and the reigning national champs Las Vegas.
By newly refurbished, I'm sure you're all aware that the Storm is without Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird this season. Stewart left for the New York Liberty super team during the offseason current and Bird retired after 20 years in the league, enjoying her time off and supporting Seattle from a different seat in the arena.
The Storm kept two of their four draft picks, Jordan Horson and Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu, waiving Madi Williams and Jade Loville.
The Aces are coming in strong as one of this year's superteams, hot off the presses with A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum and Candace Parker leading the action. The Aces lost Dearica Hamby in a trade to the Sparks in the offseason and chose to waive their sole draft pick, Brittany Davis.
Here's what you need to know to watch Storm vs. Aces.
