Aces waived C Elizabeth Kitley.
To make room for NaLyssa Smith on their roster and to adhere to the salary cap, the Aces had to waive players not on guaranteed contracts. Kitley, who only played in 12 games while averaging eight minutes a game, was an obvious choice to make room for Smith. While Mitchell played well last night in the Aces 84-81 win over the Mercury, her contract was also not guaranteed. If the Aces waived Kiersten Bell, however, they would have to pay her contract out or agree to a buyout. Also, it’s worth noting that Joyner Holmes, the Aces’ pregnancy replacement player, won’t be waived, and
via Richard Cohen, her replacement contract doesn’t count “in calculations” toward the salary cap after trades.
