Vice President Kamala Harris will take center court in the White House East Room to welcome the 2022 WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces
Coachbecame the first in WNBA history to win a championship in their first season as head coach. She previously was an assistant coach for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs.
The WNBA title is the first for one of the league's original eight franchises. The Aces began as the Utah Starzz from 1997-2002, and relocated to San Antonio as the Silver Stars from 2003-2017. The team moved to Las Vegas before the 2018 season. The Aces are also the first major professional sports team to win a championship for Las Vegas, which also has the NFL's Raiders and the NHL's Golden Knights.
The White House previously had announced that President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, would host the Aces. But the assignment fell to Harris after Biden extended a family vacation in California's Lake Tahoe region to Saturday. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
