The WNBA released a statement on Tuesday afternoon declaring last Friday’s game between the Mystics and the Aces will go down as a forfeit for Las Vegas. As a result, the Mystics pick up a victory and move up into third in the WNBA standings, a half-game behind the Dream for the second seed and an automatic double bye in the playoffs. Las Vegas now drops 2.5 games behind the Dallas Wings for eighth and final seed in the playoffs.
Friday’s game was canceled after a series of flight delays kept the Aces from arriving in Washington until late Friday afternoon.
