Aces omit NaLyssa Smith from roster amid DiJonai Carrington allegations

NaLyssa Smith is absent from the Las Vegas Aces' active roster for their game against the Portland Fire on July 29, 2026. This decision follows allegations made by DiJonai Carrington, who accused Smith of infidelity in a social media post. The Aces did not provide a reason for Smith's omission, which has drawn attention due to her participation in all previous games this season. Smith has been a significant contributor for the Aces, averaging 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. There is no confirmation that her absence is related to Carrington's allegations, and her status for upcoming games remains unclear.
