The Las Vegas Aces, whose two-time championship run ended in a semifinals loss to the New York Liberty, fired general manager Natalie Williams.
FILE - The Las Vegas Aces celebrate after Game 4 of a WNBA basketball final playoff series against the New York Liberty, Oct. 18, 2023, in New York.
However, the team president announced her contract will not be renewed as part of a “restructuring” of the front office. The 53-year-old Williams was a four-time All-Star during a seven-year WNBA career with the Utah Starzz and Indiana Fever. A two-sport athlete in basketball and volleyball at UCLA, Williams won a gold medal with the U.S. women’s basketball team at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
“It has been a joy and honor to serve as General Manager of the Las Vegas Aces,” Williams said in a statement. “Winning two WNBA Championships with this incredible group of players and staff has been a dream come true. I want to thank Mark Davis and the Aces Organization for the incredible opportunity to help lead this franchise. I love the WNBA, and it has been wonderful watching the growth of the game. I’m looking forward to what lies ahead.
