Just one day after making her debut with the team, Dyaisha Fair’s time with the Las Vegas Aces is over.
The Aces waived Fair on Sunday, just four games into the WNBA season. She made her debut in Saturday’s 99-80 win over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, recording two assists and shooting 0-for-2 from the field in four minutes.
The Aces selected Fair in the second round of the WNBA Draft last month after an impressive run at Syracuse. Fair averaged 22.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game last season with the Orange, and she moved to No. 3 on the NCAA all-time scoring list with 3,403 career points. Only Clark, who set both the men’s and women’s scoring records at Iowa last season, and Kelsey Plum have scored more points than them at the college level.
Fair appeared in a preseason game against Puerto Rico earlier this month, playing about 10 minutes in Las Vegas’ 52-point win.
Despite losing Fair, the Aces haven’t had any problems so far this season. Their win on Saturday moved them to 3-1 on the season, with their only loss coming in a 10-point loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday. The Aces are trying to win a third straight WNBA title this season, something that hasn’t happened in the league since the Houston Comets won the first four WNBA titles from 1997-2000.
