Las Vegas is the center of the basketball world ahead of the WNBA All-Star Game

Associated Press

Las Vegas — The timing and location of the WNBA All-Star Game couldn't be much better.

Just in the past week, 19-year-old phenom Victor Wembanyama made his NBA debut in the Summer League to sold-out crowds at the nearby Thomas & Mack Center, league commissioner Adam Silver spoke openly about Las Vegas as a potential expansion candidate, and the Aces continued to roll through opponents to move to 19-2 as they seek a second straight WNBA title.

That's a lot of basketball momentum ahead of the All-Star Game at Michelob Ultra Arena.
