Sky's DiJonai Carrington plans to make season debut vs. Sun

DiJonai Carrington is officially set to return to the court. After ten months of recovery from a significant left foot sprain sustained during the playoffs last season, the Chicago Sky guard plans to make her season debut tonight against her former team, the Connecticut Sun.

Carrington signed a one-year deal with Chicago this offseason. Her return comes as the team fights to improve their current 9-18 record. Coach Tyler Marsh noted that she looked strong during recent practices and is ready to contribute to the back half of the season.

Throughout her five-year career, Carrington has established herself as a defensive force, earning All-Defensive First Team honors and the Most Improved Player award in 2024. The Sky are looking to her to provide a much-needed boost in speed, versatility, and intensity as they chase a playoff spot.

This move arrives at a critical point for the Sky, who have struggled to meet expectations after losing key personnel to injury earlier in the year. With a 44-game schedule, the team is looking to use this addition to fuel a late-season push.
