Jewell Loyd (Niles West) came off the bench for the first time since August 16, 2019.

It paid off as she scored 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3PT, 4-4 FT) with a rebound, two assists, a steal, a turnover, and a +8 plus-minus in just 19 minutes.

The best part for Loyd and Aces is they stopped a two-game skid and got back to .500.

Also, playing on Sunday were Connecticut Sun rookie Aneesah Morrow (Simeon) and Golden State Valkyries fan favorite Kate Martin (Edwardsville).

Sun defeated Valkyries, 75-64.

Morrow made her third career WNBA start in the win. She had nine points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-2 FT) with a game-high 11 rebounds (four offensive), two steals, a block, two turnovers, and a +15 plus-minus in 24 minutes.

Martin came off the bench in the loss. She had nine points (3-11 FG, 3-10 3PT) with a rebound, an assist, a steal, a turnover, and a -9 plus-minus in 21 minutes.
