Kierstan Bell Re-Signs with Las Vegas Aces After Strong 2025 Campaign
The Las Vegas Aces are bringing back one of their key contributors, re-signing guard Kierstan Bell ahead of the 2026 season.
Bell, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, has spent her entire professional career in Las Vegas. Across four seasons, she has developed into a reliable rotational piece, contributing to three championship runs with the franchise. She played a role in the team’s first title in 2022, delivered key postseason minutes during the 2023 repeat, and stepped into a larger role during the 2025 campaign.
Her 2025 season marked a step forward. Bell moved into the starting lineup late in the year and posted career-best production, including a 19-point outing against Dallas. She went on to start every playoff game as Las Vegas secured its third WNBA title, further solidifying her place in the rotation.
Bell’s pro career has extended beyond the WNBA. During the 2026 Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball season in Nashville, she averaged 11.7 points per game while knocking down 30 three-pointers across 12 appearances. She added 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, reached a season-high 21 points in Week Four with Team Gold Rush, and finished seventh on the final leaderboard.

That followed another consistent AU campaign in 2025, where Bell totaled 2,974 leaderboard points and averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. She earned two Game MVP honors and finished inside the league’s top 15 for the third consecutive season after placing third overall in 2024 and cracking the top 10 as a rookie in 2023.
Before forging her path in the professional space, Bell built her foundation at Florida Gulf Coast University after beginning her career at Ohio State. She averaged 18.8 points and 7.3 rebounds across her collegiate career and earned multiple national honors, including All-America recognition and the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year award.
Bell’s re-signing marked the Aces’ first public move of the WNBA free agency period following the expansion draft, bringing a familiar face back to Vegas fans.
