What happened: The Las Vegas Aces posted a birthday tribute for forward Stephanie Talbot on Monday, calling on fans to show love for the veteran as she turns 32. Talbot joined the Aces as a free agent in early 2026 and has quickly become a rotation fixture for the defending champions.
Why it matters: The celebration comes as the Aces (11-4) prepare for a high-stakes Commissioner's Cup clash with the Dallas Wings. Talbot's defensive versatility and veteran leadership have been key during the team's current six-game winning streak as they fight for the top seed in the Western Conference.
By the numbers: Las Vegas enters Monday with a 6-game winning streak and an 11-4 overall record. The Aces lead the WNBA in scoring at 91.7 points per game and are currently 5-0 in Commissioner's Cup play this season.
What to watch: The Aces face the Dallas Wings tonight at 5:00 PM PT at College Park Center in Arlington.
