Thien-How to Watch Golden State Valkyries at Las Vegas Aces Date: Saturday, July 12, 2025 Time: 4:00 PM EDT Channel: CBS Stream: Fubo (Try for free) A two-game losing streak has pushed the Aces to two games under .500, placing the team outside the current playoff picture, one game behind the Washington Mystics for the No. 8 seed. Vegas fell 70-68 to the Mystics on Thursday with star forward A'ja Wilson out of the lineup. Jewell Loyd scored 20 points to keep Vegas competitive, but it wasn't enough to get the win. Wilson is questionable for Saturday's game with a wrist injury and would be a tough absence to make up against a very solid Valkyries squad. Golden State is coming off a dominant 80-61 win over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Clark's former Iowa teammate Kate Martin remains undefeated in her WNBA career against Clark. Veronica Burton led the Valkyries with 21 points in the win, adding eight rebounds and six assists as well. You can watch the WNBA all season long on Fubo, where you can watch all nationally televised games on ABC, ESPN, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ION, and NBA TV. Do not miss out on catching the stars of the game all summer, including A'ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, and Paige Bueckers.

Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever tumble in latest WNBA power rankings from The Athletic
The Indiana Fever are coming off a 1-2 record over the past week, dropping their overall record to 6-7. They picked up a testy home win over the Connecticut Sun to begin the week before dropping back-to-back road games against the Golden State Valkyries and Las Vegas Aces, blowing second-half leads in both games. Following the return of Caitlin Clark and a big win over the New York Liberty, the Fever came in third in last week's WNBA power rankings from The Athletic. After a 1-2 record this past week, where did The Athletic place the Fever in this week's power rankings? Where do the Fever rank in this week's WNBA Power Rankings? The Fever took a tumble in the power rankings this week, falling from third to eighth after a pair of road defeats. The Athletic dove deeper into the Fever's second-half struggles this season and why they've had problems closing games so far. Indiana went on the road with a chance to build off its statement win over New York, but it came up short twice. Despite building double-digit second-half leads against the Valkyries and the Las Vegas Aces, the Fever's defense fell apart in those fourth quarters, dropping them below .500 yet again. Although Indiana has an above-average defensive rating for the season, it is mostly propped up by blowout wins over the Chicago Sky. Against Golden State, the Fever were undone by poor defensive rebounding and an inability to defend without fouling (a problem that also existed in 2024). Against Las Vegas, fouling was again an issue, as was transition defense. The Aces took the lead for good on Aaliyah Nye's transition 3-pointer when Caitlin Clark sank a little too far back, leaving a clean look for Nye from the wing. Indiana may withstand poor defense on the road if their offense traveled, but the Fever's league-best offensive rating of 111.9 points per 100 possessions drops to 94.6 (11th in the WNBA) away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark has made 44 percent of her 3s at home and is 1-of-22 on the road. If that normalizes, perhaps Indiana can resolve its road woes.- Sabreena Merchant The rest of the WNBA power rankings for this week are as follows: What's next for the Fever? The Fever return to action Tuesday night when they face the Storm in Seattle. That tip-off is at 9 p.m. on NBA TV. After that, they return home to host the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. Tip-off against the Sparks is at 6 p.m. on Prime Video. To end the week, they'll travel to Dallas to face the Wings on Friday night. That tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on ION. The Fever will look to bounce back and rise back up the power rankings.

Jewell Loyd and Becky Hammon Had Strong Words About Las Vegas Aces Rookie Aaliyah Nye
Jewell Loyd and Becky Hammon Had Strong Words About Las Vegas Aces Rookie Aaliyah Nye originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's no denying that Aces rookie Aaliyah Nye has a work ethic that is unmatched. It's something her head coach, Becky Hammon and teammates, including Jewell Loyd, have all noticed since she arrived in Vegas as the No. 13 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft. Advertisement In a recent feature for The Sporting Tribune, which dives into Nye's journey and her dedication to her game, both Hammon, as well as Loyd, praised Nye for her poise as a rookie "She just has this confidence about her game, to be in the moment, you never really see her get too rushed or intimidated," Loyd said to the outlet. "I don't know what makes her rattle, but you can tell that she's very mature about her direction, on the court and off the court." Despite averaging just 4 points and 1.3 rebounds per game so far this season, Nye's impact goes well beyond the box score, from being disruptive on defense to making timely plays and knocking down shots when the Aces have needed it most. That's something Hammon has taken note of as Nye's playing time has progressed: Advertisement "She has stick-to-itiveness," Hammon said. "She has a resiliency to her game. That's how she made this team. She doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Quick learner. And she sure as heck ain't making the same mistake twice. I don't know if I've seen her do that in a month. So, all those things, and obviously her shooting, helped me gain confidence in putting her out in those situations."
