Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If she played over 24hrs ago, panting is not related to tiredness / exhaustion from the play. Panting is often a sign of lung problems (infection, aspiration), but it could be also due to heart diseases, fever, muscular or joint pain, abdominal discomfort and more. Please, take Dede to your local vets to find out what the problem is and to start treatment as soon as possible.
