Las Vegas Aces waive guard Chennedy Carter

The Las Vegas Aces released guard Chennedy Carter on Tuesday to clear a roster spot for rookie Justine Pissott. Carter appeared in 13 of the Aces' 21 games, averaging 12.2 points on 60.0% shooting (52.4% from three) in 16.9 minutes per contest. Her season was interrupted by a foot injury, a brief illness, and public complaints about playing time and team restrictions. Carter, a former first‑round pick known for a high‑profile hip‑check on rookie Caitlin Clark, has been waived by four teams in six years and struggled with off‑court issues. The Aces, tied for the league’s best record at 15‑6, made the move before the mid‑season guaranteed‑contract deadline. Following her release, analysts suggested she could fit with the Washington Mystics, Minnesota Lynx or the Los Angeles Sparks, but most view the waiver as a possible end to her WNBA career.
