Unrivaled Basketball Draws Another Ace

Unrivaled Basketball has added another standout WNBA player from the Las Vegas Aces! Tiffany Hayes, who won the Associated Press 2024 Sixth Player of the Year Award, will begin competing in Miami, Florida, starting January 2025. Hayes is the 23rd WNBA player to join the team and the third from the reigning two-time WNBA Champions, the Las Vegas Aces. Earlier this year, Hayes was selected for the Azerbaijan 3x3 team for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she competed against seven other teams, including Team USA.

After her college basketball career at the University of Connecticut, Hayes was picked 14th overall in the second round of the 2012 WNBA draft before heading to the Connecticut Sun in 2023. This year, after retiring in 2023, the veteran signed with the Las Vegas Aces and has been with them since. This Sunday, the Aces will start a best-of-five series against the number one ranked New York Liberty in the WNBA Playoff semifinals. So far, Hayes has played a total of 50 minutes and scored 29 points.

This January, Hayes will join her Las Vegas Aces teammates Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. Hayes has consistently showcased her ability to perform at the highest levels of competition. Additionally, her international experience highlights her adaptability and preparedness for diverse challenges. With Hayes on the Unrivaled Basketball roster, any team she joins is set to become a formidable force in the league.
