Overview
- Las Vegas waived guard Chennedy Carter after 13 games, ending her three-month stint with the team and placing her on waivers.
- Coach Becky Hammon declined to give specific reasons for the cut and said the Aces prioritize buy-in, self-sacrifice and a high effort standard on championship rosters.
- The team made the move before the midseason guarantee deadline, which would have required the Aces to fully guarantee Carter’s non‑guaranteed contract.
- Carter’s production fell sharply after a historic hot start, with her scoring dropping from about 19.1 points per game early to roughly 4.1–4.2 in her final stretch while she also missed time for a leg issue and an illness.
- Las Vegas signed No. 25 pick Justine Pissott from a Fever development deal to fill the roster spot, giving the rookie her first regular-season roster opportunity and changing the Aces’ bench mix immediately.
