Flush with cash from moving the Raiders to Las Vegas, Raiders owner Mark Davis is now officially the owner of the Las Vegas Aces franchise of the WNBA.

Both the WNBA and the NBA Board of Governors approved the sale of the Aces from MGM Resorts International to Davis. Here are some press release comments from WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

Davis is a very big fan of the Aces and he attended just about every home game, watching from a courtside seat at Mandalay Bay Events Center, which is now called Michelob Ultra Arena.

Davis was seen at Aces games with friends like Tommy White of Laborers Local 872.
