Overview
- The Las Vegas Aces signed Justine Pissott to a rest-of-season contract and waived guard Chennedy Carter, a transaction recorded on the WNBA transactions log on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
- Pissott was on a player-development contract with the Indiana Fever, which allowed the Aces to offer a standard roster deal that the Fever chose not to match within the league's 24-hour right-to-match window.
- The 6-foot-4 rookie was the No. 25 pick in the 2026 draft out of Vanderbilt and has not yet played in a regular-season WNBA game; she averaged about 11 points and shot a high 3-point percentage in college.
- Carter, the No. 4 pick in 2020 who had averaged 12.2 points this season for Las Vegas, is now on the waiver wire and can be claimed by other teams or reach free agency if unclaimed.
- The move addresses Las Vegas's need for versatile wing and frontcourt depth while Evans is sidelined and could prompt further roster changes depending on waiver claims and team needs around the league.
