Overview
- Carrington posted on Threads on Sunday naming Deja Kelly, Aaliyah Nye and “many more” as players Smith allegedly cheated with, and the message spread widely across social platforms.
- Smith responded later in a livestream by neither confirming nor denying the specifics and by asking why a breakup from about a year earlier was being aired publicly.
- Neither Kelly nor Nye has publicly commented about being named, and multiple outlets report there is no independent verification of Carrington’s claims.
- The allegation contrasts with Carrington’s November 2025 statement that the pair’s split was amicable and comes as Carrington prepares to return from a foot injury that has kept her off the court.
- No league or team statements have been prominent so far, and the dispute is likely to draw extra media and fan attention to the Sky–Aces matchup scheduled after the All‑Star break.
