Becky Hammon was dismissive of comparisons between her three-time champion Las Vegas Aces and the Indiana Fever after eliminating Caitlin Clark’s team from the playoffs Thursday night.<\/p>\n
When asked if she saw “parallels” between the Fever and the 2022 Aces, Hammon answered bluntly, “No.”<\/p>\n
Aces star A’ja Wilson laughed at the answer.<\/p>\n
Harmon followed that up with, “I think that team has great potential, to answer your question. But it’s different.”<\/p>\n
The Aces had never won a title before Hammon joined the team ahead of the 2022 campaign. A roster starring players including Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray went on to win the first of three championships in a span of four years that season.<\/p>\n
The Fever, led by Clark alongside Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, will be left still searching for their first title since 2012 following Friday night’s 94-83 elimination loss to the Aces.<\/p>\n
The Aces will now advance to face either the Golden State Valkyries or Dallas Wings in the 2026 WNBA semifinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Becky Hammon was dismissive of comparisons between her three-time champion Las Vegas Aces and the Indiana Fever after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":868254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":["post-868253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=868253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/868254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=868253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=868253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=868253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
