The Las Vegas Aces continued to make significant moves this offseason as they position themselves for another championship.
So far, the team has re-signed notable stars such as Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young. The Aces also gave A’ja Wilson a supermax contract. Now, the defending champions are making another depth move in the backcourt.
The Aces signed former Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter to a training camp deal, the team announced.
Carter spent last season playing overseas playing in China after her most recent WNBA stint in Chicago. Now, she will have a chance to earn a roster spot with the reigning champions.
Carter Effect on The Aces
There is no doubt Carter could carve out a major role for the Aces, especially as a spark off the bench. She could add toughness and grit to an already star-studded roster.
Her physical style of play has drawn attention in the past, including a hard foul on Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. Beyond that, she can serve as an additional offensive creator.
During her last season in the WNBA, she averaged 17.5 points per game while shooting 48.7% from the field.
Over the course of her career, which includes stops with the Los Angeles Sparks and Atlanta Dream, Carter has averaged 14.6 points, 2.5 assists and 2.8 steals.
The Aces have certainly reloaded this offseason. If Carter is able to make the roster, she can provide valuable depth and a scoring punch to an already elite roster.
