The Las Vegas Aces comprises some of the best players in women’s professional basketball. Year after year, they have shown that they know how to get the most out of the allotted cap space. Things are no different for this time around as they have decided to bring back “Ace” Candace Parker for another year.

After this masterstroke, the 2023 WNBA champions will still have a lot left on their plate. What are the other avenues left for the Aces? Let’s find out.

The Las Vegas Aces salary cap tracker

Recently, two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker decided to be a part of the Las Vegas Aces by signing a one-year contract. The 37-year-old was able to participate in just 18 games last season due to her foot injury. Interestingly, even after joining forces with the three-time WNBA champion, the Aces still have a whopping $218,585 left in the bank to increase their arsenal.

Apart from Parker, there were four more free agents that the Aces could invest to make themselves more formidable. The list consists of Sydney Colson, Kiah Stokes, Riquna Williams and Cayla George.
