Elizabeth Kitley grabbed attention on social media after photos from her introductory press conference with the Las Vegas Aces went viral, appearing to show her topless.
Kitley, who was drafted by the Aces last year, missed her first season due to an ACL injury. Her contract, signed earlier this month, was deferred from last season, allowing her to have her official introduction with the team on Tuesday.
In reality, Kitley was wearing a strapless top that left her upper chest exposed, though the viral photo gave the illusion of something far more risqué than intended.
Noticing the buzz surrounding the images, Kitley responded with humor on Instagram, writing, “Excellent execution by me.”

Kitley was introduced in Las Vegas alongside Jewell Lloyd, the Team USA star from the Olympics who was acquired by the Aces in a blockbuster trade earlier this year.
Kitley is expected to play the post role behind arguably the league’s best player, A’ja Wilson, as she stands 6-foot-6.
She was a three-time All-American at Virginia Tech before entering the WNBA Draft last year.
Kitley received the rare honor of having her No 33 retired by the Hokies earlier in 2025.
The center will wear the same jersey number as she prepares to make her professional debut with the Aces in a few months.
