Chennedy Carter’s turbulent WNBA career continues after she was waived by Las Vegas Aces
The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Las Vegas Aces waived guard Chennedy Carter ahead of the WNBA’s midseason cut-down deadline, avoiding full guarantee of her $277,500 contract.
- Carter started the season strongly, averaging 19 points off the bench, but her role diminished after public social media complaints about her playing time and team dynamics.
- She missed multiple games due to injury and illness and struggled in recent appearances, including a scoreless 15-minute outing in her final game for the Aces on July 5.
- Carter has a history of off-court issues leading to early exits from teams, including suspensions and waivers with Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Chicago, and has recently played overseas.
- In a related roster move, the Aces signed 6-foot-4 guard/forward Justine Pissott to a developmental contract after she played briefly for Indiana in the preseason.
