The Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings are set to face off in a highly anticipated WNBA preseason game tonight, May 2, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET at Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, Indiana. This matchup holds special significance as it marks the return of three former Notre Dame stars—Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas), Jewell Loyd (Las Vegas), and Jackie Young (Las Vegas)—to their collegiate home court.
For the Dallas Wings, this game is particularly momentous as it features the WNBA debut of Paige Bueckers, the top overall pick in the 2025 draft. Bueckers joins a revamped Wings roster that includes standout players like Arike Ogunbowale, Dijonai Carrington, Tyasha Harris, and Maddy Siegrist. The team aims to improve upon last season’s 9-31 record under the leadership of Ogunbowale, a four-time All-Star.
The Las Vegas Aces, reigning two-time WNBA champions, present a formidable challenge. Led by three-time MVP A’ja Wilson, the Aces boast a star-studded lineup that includes Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd, and Jackie Young. However, the team faces some roster adjustments, having recently released standout forward Jordyn Jenkins and dealing with injuries to Dana Evans and Megan Gustafson, both ruled out for tonight’s game.
