New Chicago Sky star DiJonai Carrington won't play anytime soon.
According to Annie Costabile of The Athletic, new Chicago Sky star DiJonai Carrington had a minor procedure to remove hardware from her left foot.
The recent surgery was an expected follow-up to one this offseason addressing a season-ending left foot injury she suffered with the Minnesota Lynx in 2025.
Carrington signed a one-year deal with the Sky. The 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player of the Year played for the Dallas Wings and Lynx last season.
For the Wings and Lynx last season, Carrington averaged 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks per game while shooting 38.6% from the field, 31.9% from beyond the arc and 80.5% from the free-throw line.
The 28-year-old Carrington has been in the WNBA since 2021. She has played for the Connecticut Sun, Wings and Lynx and has career averages of 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.2 blocks per game.
"We're thrilled to bring DiJonai to the Sky," general manager Jeff Pagliocca said in a statement. "She brings speed, defense, versatility and a fierce competitive spirit, and we can't wait to see her electrify Skytown."
The Sky went 10-34 last season. They traded Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream, traded Ariel Atkins to the Los Angeles Sparks for Rickea Jackson and signed Skylar Diggins and Azura Stevens this offseason.
