Las Vegas Aces Sign Elizabeth Kitley

Las Vegas President Nikki Fargas announced that the Aces have signed rookie center Elizabeth Kitley.

Kitley was selected at No. 24 in the second round of the 2024 WNBA Draft.

Kitley missed Virginia Tech’s Final Four games of the 2023-24 season due to a torn ACL. She has been working with the Aces medical staff to get healthy.

Fargas said, “I am so excited to see what Elizabeth Kitley can do for the Aces in 2025. After watching her progress through her injury and rehab this past year, seeing her work ethic and drive to return to the court gives us confidence in our selection of Liz in the 2024 draft. She has a phenomenal collegiate career, and we cannot wait to see her at the next level here in Las Vegas this year.”

“This past year tested me in every way, but it also reminded me why I love this game,” Kitlet said.

“The hard days, the rehab, the doubts—they all led me here. I’m beyond grateful for this next chapter with the Aces. Let’s go to work.” Kitley continued.

Kitley recently had her jersey at Virginia Tech retired, capped her five-year career as the ACC’s all-time leading scorer with 2,709 and the all-time leading rebounder with 1,506.

Kitley averaged 17.9 points and 11.4 rebounds in 151 career games. She was also a three-time ACC Player of the Year, four-time All-ACC first team selection, three times named to the ACC All-Defensive Team and was the 2020 ACC Rookie of the year.
