Aces Waive Chennedy Carter After 13 Games, Hammon Declines Comment

Timed before a contract guarantee cutoff, the move highlights roster maneuvering that leaves Carter's WNBA future uncertain following the signing of rookie Justine Pissott.

Overview

  • The Las Vegas Aces waived guard Chennedy Carter following a 13-game stint with the team, a roster move reported late this week.
  • Coach Becky Hammon told reporters the team would not comment on players no longer with the roster and declined to explain the decision.
  • Carter began her time in Las Vegas with a scoring surge, averaging roughly 19.1 points on 64.6 percent shooting early, then dropped to about 4.2 points per game over her final six appearances.
  • Reporting says the Aces cut Carter just before a midseason guarantee deadline that would have converted her non‑guaranteed deal, and they immediately added forward Justine Pissott to the active roster.
  • The waiver fits a pattern in Carter's career of short, tense exits from teams and overseas stints, and it leaves open whether she will sign elsewhere in the WNBA this season.
