DiJonai Carrington has not played a single game this WNBA season, and yet, she's still finding ways to go viral.
Carrington, the 20th pick from the 2021 WNBA Draft, played for the Connecticut Sun for a few years before being traded to the Dallas Wings in 2025. She earned All-Defensive honors and was named Most Improved Player during the 2024 season.
The Chicago Sky signed Carrington to a one-year deal back in April. Unfortunately, she hasn't played this year due to a foot injury she sustained in 2025.
On the bright side, Chicago is expected to have Carrington back on the hardwood this July.

Carrington teased her return to the court on Tuesday by sharing vacation photos along with the caption: "missed me?"
It didn't take long for Carrington's swimsuit photos to cause a stir online.
"Yes girl you know we miss you," one fan commented.
"We are soooooo back," a second fan wrote.
"My goodness," another fan replied.
It's been a rough season for the Sky.
At 6-13 this season, the Sky find themselves in 13th place in the WNBA standings. Of course, it doesn't help that Carrington has been sidelined all year.
The Sky were also dealt a devastating blow in May when Rickea Jackson went down with a torn ACL. She was averaging 18.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest this season.
“We’re devastated that Rickea suffered this injury, but we are confident she will make a full recovery,” Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said. “Rickea was playing at an All-Star and All-Defensive level early in the season. We are certain she was primed for a career year. Our world-class medical staff will work hard with Rickea, who is one of the toughest players in the league, to get her back on the court.”
Maybe, just maybe, Carrington's return will help the Sky get back on track.
