Becky Hammon, the head coach of the Las Vegas Aces, has successfully guided the team to three WNBA championships since taking over in 2022. In a recent podcast appearance, she discussed the challenges faced by the team, referring to 'internal bleeding' in the locker room that may have gone unnoticed externally. Hammon emphasized the need for security, confidence, and care within the team, stating that 'happy players make better players.' A'ja Wilson, the league's reigning MVP and a pivotal figure in the Aces' success, plays a significant role in fostering team cohesion and retaining key players like Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young. Wilson recently signed a lucrative three-year, $5 million supermax contract, solidifying her status as one of the league's highest-paid athletes. As the Aces prepare for the 2026 WNBA season, they look to build on their strong foundation and continue their championship legacy.
