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.
