Just days after signing a standard player contract with the Las Vegas Aces, former Indiana Fever second-round 2026 draft pick Justine Pissott had a spectacular WNBA debut on Saturday evening as the Aces pummeled the Phoenix Mercury 106-58.

In her debut, Pissott scored 19 points on 7 of 8 shooting, including 5 for 6 from 3-point land. Pissott added two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes of play. Pissott's five made 3-pointers are the most in a WNBA debut.

After drafting Pissott in the second round, the Fever signed Pissott to a player development contract. The Fever had a chance to counter the Aces' standard contract offer but chose not to.

Indiana (13-9) will face Pissott and the Aces (17-6) on Sunday night at Michelob Ultra Arena as the Fever close out their four-game road trip.
