Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, October 10, 2026 — The Las Vegas Aces are preparing for a significant offseason following their elimination from the WNBA semifinals. The team experienced a sweep in the postseason, prompting discussions about potential shake-ups and strategic adjustments heading into the next season.

A primary concern for the franchise is the future of guard Jackie Young, who is set to become a free agent. Young concluded a career-best season with the Aces, and securing her return is being identified as a top priority for the team’s management. Her performance throughout the recently concluded season has made her decision a critical factor in the Aces’ offseason planning.

In addition to addressing player personnel, the Aces also intend to focus on strengthening their defensive capabilities. Reports indicate that improving the team’s defense is another key objective as they look to rebuild and enhance their competitive standing. The specific strategies for addressing these defensive weaknesses have not yet been detailed.

The team’s path forward involves navigating complex free agency decisions, including that of Young, and implementing tactical changes aimed at resolving identified areas for improvement. The outcome of these offseason moves will be closely watched as the Aces aim to contend in the league.
