NyLyssa Smith was traded to the Aces earlier this season

The WNBA trade market did spring a few surprises this season, especially for the Las Vegas Aces’ star NyLyssa Smith. For context, Smith was at the Dallas Wings a few months ago, alongside her girlfriend DiJonai Carrington. Little did she know, the Aces came in knocking hard for Smith as they acquired her in a trade deal in exchange for a 2027 first-round draft pick with the Wings this season.

Smith had a difficult season with the Wings after being selected by the Indiana Fever with the second overall choice in the 2022 WNBA Draft. She averaged 6.7 points and 4.9 rebounds in just 19.1 minutes per game after being dealt to Dallas in the offseason, which was her lowest performance to date. Compared to her tenure with the Fever, this represented a significant drop.
