Sitting courtside, the couple witnessed the Aces take over the Sparks by 89-74. Aces player A'ja Wilson scored 34 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals. Jackie Young then added 26 points and 10 assists, besides receiving her first career triple-double.
After 13 months off the court due to his recovering ACL, rookie Cameron Brink scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. Despite these efforts, however, the Sparks failed to come through and continue their fall down the rankings. The Aces, on the other hand, are slowly building up momentum.

Chinese club Shandong Taishan given two-year ban from Asian club competition after no-show
Chinese club Shandong Taishan has been banned from Asian club competition for two years for its no-show against South Korean side Ulsan HD in the Asian Champions League (ACL) Elite in February. The Chinese Super League side pulled out hours before the February 19 match, blaming 'serious physical discomfort' of players and saying it was unable to form a team. The Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) Disciplinary and Ethics Commission said Shandong would not be able to play in the AFC's club competitions up to and including the 2026/27 season editions, and fined the club USD 50,000. ALSO READ | Son Heung-Min agrees terms with MLS club Los Angeles FC: Reports It also ordered Shandong to return a participation fee of USD 600,000 and a performance bonus of USD 200,000 to the AFC, along with compensation of USD 40,000 to Ulsan 'in respect of damages and losses claimed' by the South Korean club. Shandong's pull-out came days after the club said it had banned supporters for 'inappropriate behaviour' during a home ACL match against South Korean team Gwangju after fans in the crowd displayed images of South Korea's last military dictator, Chun Doo-hwan. Hundreds of people are estimated to have died or gone missing when the South Korean government violently put down the Gwangju uprising by pro-democracy protesters in May 1980, when Chun was the de facto leader of the country after leading a military coup.
