LAS VEGAS – The Aces continued their midseason roster reshuffle on Wednesday, signing 2026 WNBA Draft second-round pick Ta'Niya Latson to a Development Player contract.
Latson, a former South Carolina Gamecock, was selected No. 20 by Los Angeles in the spring before being waived on Monday. The 5-foot-8 guard featured just 10 times for the Sparks, averaging 1.8 points and 1.0 rebounds per game in limited minutes.
This move comes on the back of the Aces waiving veteran guard Chennedy Carter on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, Vegas signed rookie wing Justine ***** ott from the Indiana Fever for the remainder of the season.
While ***** ott added size, at 6-foot-4, and perimeter shooting, Latson feels like a more natural Carter replacement.
Latson made her name in college as a scorer. She averaged 22.6 points per game in three years at Florida State — including 25.2 ppg as a junior — before transferring to SC. She tallied 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.6 ***** ists per tilt as a Gamecock, starting in all 35 games and helping her team to the NCAA National Championship game.
