Overview
- The Aces signed Justine Pissott to a rest‑of‑season standard contract after the Indiana Fever declined to match an offer sheet, a sequence confirmed by team announcements and the WNBA transactions log on Tuesday.
- Las Vegas waived guard Chennedy Carter as the corresponding roster move before the league's midseason guarantee cutoff so the team will not owe the remainder of her non‑guaranteed contract.
- Pissott was the No. 25 pick in the 2026 draft, had been on a player development contract with Indiana, has not played in a regular‑season game, and is noted for 3‑point shooting as a 6'4 guard/forward from Vanderbilt.
- The Aces framed the move as a way to add backcourt and frontcourt depth while playing without injured guard Dana Evans, and the Fever chose not to elevate Pissott because they preferred to keep Grace VanSlooten and Damiris Dantas on the active roster.
- Carter, a high‑scoring but often turbulent guard with stops on multiple teams, is now on waivers and faces an uncertain WNBA future while Pissott gets a live standard‑roster opportunity with the defending champions.
