The 2017 WNBA season was the 21st season for the San Antonio Stars franchise of the WNBA. It was also their 15th and last in San Antonio, as they moved to Las Vegas and became the Aces the following season.
The season started in a difficult fashion, as the team lost all six of its games in May. The closest loss was a six-point loss at home to Phoenix. The team would go on to lose the first eight games in May, extending their losing streak to fourteen straight games. During that streak, there was an overtime loss to Chicago and a four-point loss at Dallas. The Stars won their first game of the season on June 30th, in a rematch with Chicago. The team went on to win two out of its nine games in July, defeating Indiana at home and on the road. Six of their seven losses in the month were by double-digits. The remainder of the season showed a marked improvement for the team, as they won four of their first five games in August. Their only loss game in Chicago. However, they lost four straight games before winning the final game of the season, at Indiana. Their 5–5 finish to the season saw them finish with a final mark of 8–26. They were the only team from the Western Conference to not qualify for the playoffs.
