WNBA action just hit the road with two enticing pre-season games. This also means that the two-time defending champions will soon be seen in action. The Aces will lock horns with the Puerto Rico National Team on Saturday, May 11 in their pre-season fixture. However, before things started to get serious, the core of the team which comprises A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young, Kelsey Plum, and Chelsea Gray decided to have some fun.

The Aces recently concluded an enthralling segment of their media day. Filled with almost all the superstars from their locker room along with some fresh faces, the consecutive champions had an energetic experience at the event. However, the segment that went viral was the dance circle in which the team’s No. 0 Jackie Young had something special. Seemingly, she decided to do a handstand in front of all those who were present over there. Just like on the basketball court, she received some assistance from the 2023 WNBA Finals MVP A’ja Wilson to maintain her balance.

Further, there were also some people who were having a hard time believing that Young agreed to do it. One of them expressed, “I can’t believe Jackie agreed to that.” 

There is no denying that Aces will be one of the firm favorites for the title. Along with all confidence, there will also be a great deal of pressure put by the fans on A’ja Wilson and the rest. Hopefully, they can cope with all that just like they did in the previous season.
