Chicago Sky Reportedly Sign DiJonai Carrington to One-Year Deal
The defensive-minded wing signals Chicago's push for a tougher perimeter identity.
Overview
- ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported Sunday that the Sky agreed to a one-year contract with guard DiJonai Carrington.
- Carrington earned 2024 All-Defensive First Team honors and won Most Improved Player, building a reputation for tight on-ball pressure and physical play.
- She began 2025 with Dallas before a trade to Minnesota, where she logged 11 games and averaged 8.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 steals on efficient shooting.
- The move extends Chicago's roster overhaul after a 10-34 season, following additions of Skylar Diggins, the return of Courtney Vandersloot, a trade for Rickea Jackson, and the pickup of guard Jacy Sheldon.
- Her widely discussed 2024 playoff run included an eye contact incident with Caitlin Clark that both players said lacked intent, a storyline likely to add heat to perimeter matchups.
