Las Vegas Aces waive rookie guard Dyaisha Fair, who was originally selected with the 32nd overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft.
The Las Vegas Aces have waived rookie guard Dyaisha Fair, the team announced on Wednesday. Fair was originally selected with the 32nd overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft.
Fair, a 6-foot-2 guard, played three seasons at Buffalo before transferring to Syracuse ahead of the 2022 season. She was named to the Associated Press All-America third team as a senior in 2023, averaging 18.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.9 steals per game.
Fair was expected to compete for a spot in the Aces' rotation this season, but she was unable to crack the lineup during training camp. The Aces have a deep and talented backcourt, led by All-Stars Kelsey Plum and Chelsea Gray.
With Fair's departure, the Aces now have 12 players on their roster. They will open the regular season on May 19 at home against the Seattle Storm.
Fair's release is a bit of a surprise, as she was expected to be a key piece of the Aces' future. However, the Aces have a lot of depth in the backcourt, and Fair was unable to stand out during training camp.
Fair is still a young player with a lot of potential, and she could still develop into a solid WNBA player. However, it is clear that she needs more time to develop, and the Aces decided that it was best to waive her.
Fair will now have to find a new team, and she will likely have to start her career in the G League. However, she is still a talented player with a lot of upside, and she could still have a successful WNBA career.
The Aces have a lot of depth in the backcourt, and they are not afraid to make moves to improve their team. Fair's release is a sign that the Aces are serious about winning a championship this season.
The Aces have a lot of talent on their roster, and they are one of the favorites to win the WNBA championship this season. Fair's release will not hurt their chances of winning a title, and it could actually help them in the long run.
