Aces' Jackie Young lands a new job after WNBA Finals victory

Last Friday, Jackie Young won her third WNBA championship. After setting a new record by scoring 21 points in a quarter during the WNBA Finals, Young helped the Las Vegas Aces polish off a sweep of the Phoenix Mercury; she averaged more than 20 points per game during the series and staked her place as a key member of this Aces dynasty.

Young's resume at just 28 years old is already stacked. The former Notre Dame star was the #1 overall pick of the 2019 draft and has been named a four-time All-Star and a two-time All-WNBA selection, while winning the WNBA Most Improved Player award in 2022. But on Tuesday, Young landed a new gig away from the court.

As part of an initiative with Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, Young worked a one-hour "shift" at the fried chicken franchise's flagship location on the Las Vegas Strip.

Following the Aces' third championship win in four years, Young signed autographs and greeted fans at the front counter and the drive-thru of the restaurant.

It was the start of a busy but fun week in Vegas for Young and her Aces. Alongside Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd and Finals MVP A'ja Wilson, Young appeared Tuesday morning on Good Morning America -- and on Friday, they will hold a championship parade following their latest title win.
