Currently known as the Las Vegas Aces, the basketball franchise began in Salt Lake City, Utah. The team moved in 2003 to San Antonio, Texas, and was known as the San Antonio Stars. After playing for several years, the Stars made it to the WNBA finals in 2008 but lost to Detroit. The WNBA and NBA Board of Governors approved the relocation of the San Antonio Stars before the 2018 season and after relocating to Las Vegas and becoming the city's first professional basketball team, the Stars underwent a name change, now known as the Las Vegas Aces. With the 2020 regular season beginning in May, head coach Bill Laimbeer will continue in his second year to build on the momentum of the Las Vegas Aces 2019 season, in which the team reached the conference finals but ultimately lost to the

'Who Is the coach of the Las Vegas Aces?'

'Since moving to Las Vegas, the head coaching responsibilities have belonged to legendary NBA player, Bill Laimbeer. Recognized as one of the best centers in league history, Laimbeer played 12 seasons with the Detroit Pistons. During his tenure, he set a team record for career rebounds and his toughness landed him at the No. 2 spot for overall games played as a Piston. This includes a streak of 685 consecutive games played.'

'Who is the new player are joining the Aces for the 2020 season?'

'Five-time WNBA All-Star Angel McCoughtry has signed with the Aces for the 2020 season. An elite scorer with great defensive skills, McCoughtry looks to help the Aces build on a successful 2019 season that saw them make a deep playoff run, falling just short of the WNBA Finals. As one of the best defenders and the fifth-highest scorer in league history, McCoughtry will be bringing extra talent to the Las Vegas Aces.'

Only one year after hiring head coach Bill Laimbeer and relocating to Las Vegas, the team had a record of 21-13, which was good enough for fourth place in the Western Conference and the team’s first playoff appearance since 2014. The team reached the conference finals, where it lost the best-of-five series with the Washington Mystics 3-1.'
