Cheyenne Parker-Tyus

Cheyenne Parker-Tyus is a 6-foot-4 forward on the Las Vegas Aces’ 2026 roster as of September 11, 2026. Born August 22, 1992, she played collegiately at High Point before finishing at Middle Tennessee. Chicago selected her fifth overall in the first round of the 2015 WNBA Draft. Her WNBA path has also included Atlanta, and she joined Las Vegas on a training-camp contract dated February 5, 2025 before returning to the active roster following childbirth that September.

Parker-Tyus earned her first WNBA championship with Las Vegas in 2025 and was named a WNBA All-Star in 2023 while with Atlanta. A versatile interior player, she has built her profile around work near the basket, rebounding and rim protection. That defensive identity was evident well before the WNBA: at High Point she won Big South Defensive Player of the Year in consecutive seasons, while at Middle Tennessee she set the program’s single-season blocks record and recorded its first triple-double. Those college accomplishments reflect the length and shot-blocking instincts she brings to a frontcourt role.
