Overview
- The Las Vegas Aces signed Justine Pissott to a rest-of-season standard contract on Tuesday after the Indiana Fever declined to match an offer sheet under the league’s development-contract rules.
- Las Vegas waived guard Chennedy Carter the same day before the league’s 5 p.m. ET non-guarantee deadline so the team would not have to make her deal fully guaranteed.
- Pissott is a 6-foot-4 guard/forward drafted 25th overall in 2026 who shot very well from three in college and had not played in a regular-season WNBA game for the Fever.
- Carter averaged about 12.2 points in limited minutes this season but saw playing time fall after a May social-media post and then missed games with injury and illness; she now passes through the WNBA waiver process or could reach free agency.
- The move illustrates how defending champion Las Vegas is using roster and contract mechanics to add frontcourt/backcourt versatility while protecting salary and roster flexibility during a season affected by injuries.
