Aces celebrate 2nd WNBA championship, say more are on the way
The Las Vegas Aces celebrated their second consecutive WNBA championship Monday night on the Strip and said they aren't done. The Aces became the first WNBA team in 21 years to win back-to-back titles, defeating the New York Liberty in four games. Las Vegas won the 2022 title in four games against the Connecticut Sun. The Aces made it clear from the front office to the players they weren't ready to stop, and Las Vegas has the kind of roster to make these parades a regular ritual.

Dearica Hamby lifts U.S. women's 3x3 team to AmeriCup gold
Tournament MVP Dearica Hamby made an off-balance, falling-down shot off a lob from Kelsey Mitchell as time expired, lifting the U.S. to a 21-20 win over Brazil in the women's gold medal game at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup on Sunday. Hamby's shot -- a 1-pointer, since baskets in 3x3 are worth one inside the arc and two outside the arc -- capped a huge rally from the Americans. They trailed 19-13 with 2:02 left in the game, which is decided when someone reaches 21 points or when the 10-minute game clock expires.

Indiana Fever again land No. 1 overall pick in WNBA draft lottery
For the second year in a row, the Indiana Fever will have the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft. The Fever, who picked South Carolina's Aliyah Boston in 2023, won the 2024 WNBA draft lottery on Sunday and have the first selection on April 15. The Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm will have the Nos. 2-4 picks in the draft. Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark is the projected No. 1 pick in ESPN's most recent mock draft. But like several other potential draftees, Clark is eligible to return for a fifth college season in 2024-2025 because of the COVID-19 waiver. Lottery odds were based on the cumulative records of the past two WNBA regular seasons (2022 and 2023). With a cumulative record of 18-58, the Fever had the most chances to land the top pick (442 out of 1,000).Click Here For Full Story
