LAS VEGAS (Feb. 3, 2024)—Las Vegas Aces President Nikki Fargas today announced the signing of rookie center Elizabeth Kitley, who the Aces 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 after tearing her ACL, and has been working with the Aces medical staff to rehabilitate her knee.

“I am so excited to see what Elizabeth Kitley can do for the Aces in 2025,” said Fargas. “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 had 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,” Kitley 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 get to work.”

Kitley, who recently had her No. 33 jersey retired by Virginia Tech, capped her five-year career in Blacksburg as the ACC’s all-time leading scorer (2,709) and rebounder (1,506), while connecting on 55.
