Chennedy Carter’s explosive scoring off the bench is lighting up the WNBA—and the Las Vegas Aces are riding her fire toward their fourth championship in five years. Averaging 17.5 points per game as a reserve, she’s the instant offense Coach Becky Hammon demands, thriving in a high-energy, downhill style that’s made her a nightmare for defenses. Despite a turbulent past—including a suspension, trades, and a controversial flagrant foul against Caitlin Clark—Carter’s found her groove in Vegas, shooting over 65% from the field and nearly 60% from three. Her athleticism and aggression are impressing even veterans like Chelsea Gray, and while a recent hip issue briefly cooled her streak, both coach and player insist it’s just part of the grind. With Carter and Jewell Loyd leading the charge, the Aces are built to dominate—and they’re banking on her to be the spark that lights the trophy.
