DiJonai Carrington isn’t having it.
She’s seeing plenty of vitriol on social media while she waits to heal up and debut for the Chicago Sky this season.
Instead, of just letting it sit out there, Carrington chose to respond.
This lightly censored tweet is what she posted on X on Monday to clap back at those spewing information about her:

Clearly, Carrington isn’t happy.
She was listed as out for the Sky’s season opener due to a foot injury, and she had opened up in a recent offseason video about the difficult mentality of having to recovery from an injury.
Now, the Sky are just waiting for her to get back on the court, and in the meantime, Carrington is making sure to stand her ground.
This is going to be her first season in Chicago. She split last season between Dallas and Minnesota.
Carrington was a strong pickup for the Sky. She has averaged 85. points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game in her career.
Back in 2024, Carrington won the WNBA’s Most Improved Player award and also finished fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting.
Clearly, she’s got plenty of talent. Chicago is just waiting for her to get back onto the court and show it.
