The Las Vegas Aces are reportedly interested in acquiring Kaitlyn Chen from the Golden State Valkyries. Chen has been productive off the bench but lacks a starting role with the Valkyries. Given the Aces' current need for playmaking depth due to injuries and earlier challenges with Chennedy Carter, trading for Chen could strengthen their guard rotation. The Valkyries might consider trading Chen if they feel her long-term potential outweighs immediate contributions.
- •Kaitlyn Chen plays 14.7 minutes per game for the Valkyries.
- •Chen ranks 10th in the WNBA in field-goal percentage at 57.5%.
- •The Aces could benefit from Chen's scoring ability off the bench.
- •Dana Evans and Chennedy Carter's health issues have created a need for more guard support.
- •The Valkyries must decide Chen's future based on trade interest.
