The WNBA’s investigation into the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s sponsorship offers to Aces players gained further momentum last week.

The league hired an outside firm to conduct the investigation: Kobre and Kim LLP. The group specializes in internal investigations, which often involve allegations of misconduct and fraud.

LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill has been contacted by the company and plans to speak with them this week.

“I’m happy to talk to Steve (Kobre) and explain to him what happened and why,” Hill said. “There’s no problem here.”

Hill presented a $100,000 sponsorship offer to each of the Aces’ 12 players in the team’s locker room at Michelob Ultra Arena on May 17. As of Monday, the deals had not been finalized. The WNBA launched an investigation into the Aces shortly after the announcement to determine what role, if any, the team played in the proposal.
