Miami, FL – 06/18/24 – The Miami VIS are thrilled to announce the signing of Matee Ajavon, a dynamic guard who made an immediate impact upon her arrival in the 305. Ajavon joins the organization at a harmonious time, effortlessly aligning with a core VIS value of riding for the retired. A standout guard, Ajavon has a proven track record of success and leadership on the court, and a passion for life and basketball matched by her VIS teammates off the court.
