Las Vegas Aces Sign Cheyenne Parker-Tyus to Strengthen Frontcourt
The former All-Star joins the reigning MVP A'ja Wilson on a one-year deal as the team reshapes its roster after key departures.
- Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, a former All-Star forward, has signed a one-year veteran minimum contract worth $78,831 with the Las Vegas Aces.
- The 6-foot-4 forward averaged 15.0 points and 6.7 rebounds during her All-Star season in 2023 but was limited to 25 games last season due to an ankle injury.
- The Aces have faced significant offseason challenges, including the departures of Kelsey Plum, Tiffany Hayes, and Kate Martin, as well as injury concerns for Elizabeth Kitley and Alysha Clark.
- Parker-Tyus is expected to provide much-needed frontcourt support for three-time MVP A'ja Wilson, who had a career-best season averaging 26.9 points and 11.8 rebounds.
- Las Vegas also bolstered its backcourt by acquiring Jewell Loyd in a January trade, signaling a strategic effort to remain championship contenders after back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023.
