WNBA rocked by multi-player cheating scandal as DiJonai Carrington calls out ex NaLyssa Smith

Professional sports headlines often focus on stat lines and playoff standings, but a recent situation in the WNBA is bringing personal drama to the forefront. Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington recently used social media to make public allegations regarding her former partner, Las Vegas Aces forward NaLyssa Smith.

Carrington, who has been a frequent subject of sports media coverage for her on-court actions and social commentary, posted her claims regarding infidelity on a public platform. The post specifically named two other players, Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye, as being involved in the situation. These accusations mark a significant public shift for the pair, who had previously been linked since their time together at Baylor University.

Both Carrington and Smith played as teammates for the Dallas Wings during the 2025 season before Smith moved to the Las Vegas Aces. At the time of their initial breakup, the explanation provided to the public suggested they had moved in different directions. The current, more detailed version provided by Carrington contrasts sharply with that previous sentiment.

The timing of these revelations adds a layer of intensity to upcoming league games. Carrington is set to face both Smith and Kelly when the Chicago Sky host the Las Vegas Aces on August 1. A later matchup against Aaliyah Nye and the Atlanta Dream is scheduled for September 19. As of now, Smith, Kelly, and Nye have not provided public responses to these specific allegations. This situation continues to draw attention as fans watch to see if these personal developments impact the professional dynamic on the court during the remaining weeks of the season.
