Dana Evans · Banners aren’t raised without the help of unsung, off-the-bench heroes, and during a regular-season clash between the WNBA’s last two champions, few accepted said challenge quite like Dana Evans. With her shooting stroke beginning to warm like the weather in July, Evans uses the threat of her long-range abilities advantageously, freezing Marine Johannes in place with a heady pass fake. Completely uncovered, and now free to ease into a pregame warmup-like 3-pointer, Evans connects, allowing the Las Vegas Aces to keep pace during a competitive first quarter. Superior execution allowed the New York Liberty to take victory over the shorthanded Aces, but in just 14 minutes time, Evans nearly found a way to lead her team in scoring. Efficient in her attack, Evans closed with 16 points (on five-of-nine shooting), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two 3-pointers on July 8, 2025. · State of Mint · State of Mint
