Syracuse Dyaisha Fair Drafted 16th Overall to the Las Vegas Aces - Sports  Radio America

Dyaisha Fair, a promising young player once expected to be a rising star in the WNBA, has faced a major setback as the Las Vegas Aces unexpectedly waived four games of her 2024 season.

Fair, drafted 11th overall in the 2023 WNBA Draft, had shown immense potential early in the season. However, due to a severe knee injury, she was forced to sit out for most of the remaining season.

The Aces’ decision to waive four games of Fair’s 2024 season has surprised many fans and basketball experts. Some argue that it was a difficult but necessary decision to ensure Fair’s long-term health and future. However, others have expressed disappointment and concern about the impact this decision could have on Fair’s career.

Fair, 22, has expressed frustration with the Aces’ decision but remains positive. She says she is focused on recovering from her injury and preparing for the 2025 season.

Fair’s case has raised important questions about how WNBA teams treat young players with injuries. Some argue that there needs to be clearer regulations to protect players’ rights and ensure they have access to the best possible medical care.

While Fair’s future in the WNBA is uncertain, she remains a promising young talent. With her strong will and determination, Fair hopes to overcome her injury and continue pursuing her WNBA dream.
