Las Vegas Aces Have 24 Hours of Travel Time, Layovers Before Game vs. Mystics

If the Las Vegas Aces come out sluggish in their WNBA game against the Washington Mystics on Friday night, they'll have a legitimate excuse.

Not only did the team have to make a cross-country flight from Vegas to the nation's capital, but it also had to endure a rather lengthy delay. As in a 24-hour delay.

The Aces kept their sense of humor about the whole thing with a stellar injury report:

The Aces (12-14) are coming off a 104-93 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday. Now, they will have to play a road game against a 15-11 playoff contender after having their preparation affected by serious travel issues. That won't make Las Vegas' postseason push any easier; the 34-game regular season ends August 19.
