Aces Earn First Home Win of Season as Chelsea Gray Breaks Hammon’s Franchise Assist Record

The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Golden State Valkyries 84-79 on June 6, 2026, securing their first home win of the season. Chelsea Gray recorded her 1,134th assist in an Aces uniform during the game, moving past her coach Becky Hammon for the franchise record. Gray finished with 12 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals.

A'ja Wilson scored 28 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Jackie Young added 27 points, five rebounds and five assists. Jewell Loyd made a three-pointer assisted by Gray in the fourth quarter. Gray now has 1,941 career assists, ranking sixth all-time in WNBA history and second among active players behind Courtney Vandersloot.

A'ja Wilson had earlier surpassed Hammon on the Aces' all-time scoring list during the 2026 season. Gray, 33, was the No. 11 pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft. She spent her first six seasons with the Connecticut Sun and Los Angeles Sparks before signing with the Aces in free agency in 2021.

Since her arrival, the Aces have won at least 24 games each season, reached the semifinals or beyond in every postseason, made four WNBA Finals appearances and won championships in 2022, 2023 and 2025. Gray was named Finals MVP in 2022. "She's awesome, it's unbelievable," Hammon said.

"She's one of the greatest to ever do it. It's actually fun for me, because who cares about records? They're meant to be broken and you want the next generation to be better than your generation, and they are.

" "It's a testament to all the players that I've been able to play with," Gray said. "I've played with some great players and I'm currently playing with great players. " Hammon also noted the on-court chemistry between herself and Gray.
