The Aces are defending back-to-back WNBA Champions and bolster a stacked backcourt unit. Still, fellow rookie Kate Martin — who was selected No. 18 after playing at Iowa from 2019-24 — is averaging 21.0 minutes per game across three contests.
Aces General Manager Natalie Williams told The Daily Orange that she was “excited” to get Fair into the team’s training camp and that she envisioned a role where Fair could be a microwave scorer off the bench.
Fair averaged 22.2 points per game throughout her five-year collegiate career en route to becoming the third-highest scorer in Women’s Division I history. Fair can now be claimed by any of the other 11 WNBA teams. If she goes unclaimed, she’ll become a free agent.
