The WNBA’s owners officially approved retired quarterback Tom Brady’s bid Monday to purchase a stake in the Las Vegas Aces.
Brady and the Aces announced March 23 he purchased a minority share in the club, but no specific information was provided. League approval appeared to be a formality because WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert issued a statement praising the acquisition.
Las Vegas hopes to repeat its league championship when the Aces open a best-of-five series Sunday against the New York Liberty.
Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis is the Aces’ majority owner.
