Carrington is the reigning WNBA Most Improved Player and was also named to the 2024 WNBA All-Defensive First Team. The 5-11 guard/forward was drafted 20thoverall in 2021 by the Connecticut Sun, where she has played the last four seasons.  Carrington posted career-best numbers across the board this year, including points (12.7), rebounds (5.0), assists (1.6), steals (1.6) and blocks (0.4). She started in all 39 games she played, averaging 29.6 minutes per contest.
Carrington’s scoring and rebounding averages have increased every year she has played. In her four years with the Sun, the team advanced to the WNBA Semifinals three times and the Finals once. The Finals appearance and one of the Semifinals showings came while Carrington played under current Dallas Wings Executive Vice President and General Manager Curt Miller and Head Coach Chris Koclanes. The San Diego native graduated from Stanford in 2020 and used an extra year of eligibility to the 2020-21 season at Baylor.
Harris was drafted by the Wings seventh overall in 2020 and spent her first three WNBA seasons (2020-22) in Dallas. The 5-10 guard averaged 5.2 points and 2.8 rebounds over 88 games with the Wings. The all-time assists leader for the University of South Carolina spent the last two seasons with the Connecticut Sun after being part of a three-team trade following the 2022 season. She led the WNBA in three-point shooting (.464) in 2023. Harris won a National Championship with the Gamecocks in 2017.
Harris is coming off a career-best season with the Sun, averaging 10.5 points and 3.0 assists in 2024. She appeared in 39 games last season and started 38. Harris was recently part of the Connecticut-Phoenix trade that sent her and Alyssa Thomas to the Mercury. Following the 2024 WNBA season, Harris played for Liaoning in the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association where averaged17.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists. She’s currently in Nashville for Athletes Unlimited.

The 6-4 forward has averaged double-digit scoring in each of her first three WNBA seasons, going for 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 2024 while playing for the Fever. She finished in the top six in rebounding in 2022 and 2023.
Smith was a 2022 WNBA All-Rookie Team selection after leading all newcomers in rebounding while listing sixth among all players in the category. Her scoring average and minutes played ranked second among all first-year players. The two-time First Team All-American won a National Championship while at Baylor in 2019. She is currently on a Relief Player Contract at Unrivaled after spending the fall with Zhejiang in China, where she averaged 16.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.

She is currently playing for Maccabi Ironi Ramat Gan in Israel where she is averaging 18.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.
“I am excited about the acquisition of DiJonai, Ty, NaLyssa, Kiki and the No. 12 pick in the upcoming draft,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager Curt Miller. “All four of these players understand the culture it takes to win at the highest level, with three of them winning National Championships during their collegiate careers.
“DiJonai has improved steadily since she was drafted in 2021, culminating in her Most Improved Player recognition this season,” Miller continued. “She is well respected around this league for her defensive prowess and is an excellent offensive guard in transition. I believe she has the ability to be one of the great two-way players in this league. Ty is coming off a career year and is one of the best three-point shooters in the league. Her versatility to play on and off the ball gives us the flexibility to play multiple combinations on the floor. NaLyssa has been a proven and consistent double-figure scorer while also being one of the best rebounders since entering the league. Kiki has great length and stretches the floor with her three-point shooting. These players address our desire to increase three-point shooting while also adding versatility to the roster. Additionally, having two First Round picks including the No. 1 selection and the No. 12 pick provides a great opportunity to add young, talented players with the potential to impact this organization for years to come.”
Sabally was drafted by the Wings second overall in the 2020 WNBA Draft. The two-time WNBA All-Star (2021, 2023) and 2023 All-WNBA First Team selection has averaged 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals over 97 games in Dallas.

We wish them the best going forward.”

Dallas Wings Complete Four-Team Trade With Connecticut, Phoenix and Indiana

As the WNBA players battle it out on the court, they still bring the heat with their summer-inspired outfits in the tunnel. Continuing a survey of the top summer trends, the players have introduced more focus into their outfits with accessories, color coordination, and bold messaging. 

While holding sneakers in their pre-game outfits has become a way for players to debut new pairs of footwear, players are now planning their clothing to match their personalized designs. Under Armour athletes Kelsey Plum and Laeticia Amihere call attention to their PEs with their choice of shorts. Other players send messages through their choice of slogan baby tees or patterns on their materials. 

Other players are catching the last moments to wear trending summer styles, bringing oversized tops and the Beyoncé-inspired cowboy look into the tunnel. Moving away from classic athlete styles or pieces, discover how players are styling their pre-game looks through a unique, young, and distinctly female lens.

Players have been expressing the idea of girlhood through their baby tees, like Kamilla Cardoso's 'I'm Literally Just a Girl' top. Channeling Y2K styles through revived brands like Rickea Jackson's True Religion or Mikiah Herbert Harrigan's Ed Hardy baby tee, they enhance their throwback look with cargo miniskirts. 

Baby Tees

Holding their PE sneakers while doing their pre-game tunnel walks, players are coordinating their apparel to their footwear colorways. Under Armour athlete Laeticia Amihere wears patterns that pay homage to her cultural heritage while Kelsey Plum debuts a new fruit-inspired variation. Reebok athlete Angel Reese wears both apparel and footwear from her new collection, with shining jewelry and a Chanel purse-- all Angel's signature accessories. 

Shoe Coordination

The sports jersey has always been a hit in the tunnel, but last season's popular jersey dress has been swapped out for very oversized jerseys. Both Sydney Colson and Angel Reese pair their jerseys with equally large shorts and dramatic heels. Erica Wheeler and Rhyne Howard go the streetwear route with their jersey selection, but color coordinate their entire look to match.

Oversized Jersey

Veteran players A'ja Wilson and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton are taking bedazzled denim to the next level. While bedazzled or metallic elements in pre-game outfits have become extremely popular this season, these players have shining elements throughout their outfit-- hoop earrings, jewelry and sharp silver shoes.

Bedazzled Denim

Cowboy boots and Western-inspired styles have finally debuted in the tunnel this season. Representing different regions in the league, Jordan Horston, Crystal Dangerfield and Kayla Thornton all place their personal spin on these boots. Horston and Dangerfield fully commit to their look, with a hat, while Thornton goes for a more, city-ready denim look.

This WNBA season's hectic, nonstop schedule is bubbling with energy, which has translated into the players' most recent pre-game outfits. From commemorating their Olympic victories through their outfits to taking a red, white, and blue approach to celebrating their teammates, the players continue this momentum until the playoffs. 

Instead of going for laid-back summer style, their return translates into more elevated, 'back to business' outfits as the teams compete for their spots in the Playoffs. This critical point of the season also makes it easier to see which players have established their signature looks, with a special nod to the rookies who have truly developed their style profiles. 

Other recent style notes include players hiring stylists, even though it seems late in the season—there's no proper timeline for stepping up one's style. Discover the top pre-game outfits that show player style returning to business after a well-deserved break.

Kate Martin takes a simple approach to honoring her medal-winning teammates by wearing a classic patchwork rugby shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren. Paired with blue cargo pants with a slim fit, maroon socks and a pair of low-top Jordan sneakers, Martin stands out against the glitz of Las Vegas with her classic, back-to-school look.

Breanna Stewart's return to the league starts with this elevated American Flag-inspired look-- a painted flag top and beige colored Dior track pants. Stewart weaves designer details into her look, from her chic loafers to the Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet stacked on her wrist. As she leads luxury style in the tunnel, Stewart's status as a veteran player fuels her best looks.

Shakira Austin will always get extra points for preparing her best pre-game style while recovering from surgery. Recently teaming up with stylist Clarke Imani, Austin wears a Mugler x H&M dress with a bold colorblock pattern. The red and blue colors throughout this outfit feel right for the first post-Olympics games for the WNBA.

Jordin Canada quietly brings amazing style to the pre-game tunnels. This week, she wears a pair of star-patterned jeans from Free People-- the cropped fit doesn't look awkward and perfectly frames her Jordan sneakers. As the summer heat cools down, Canada's sheer red top layered over a white tank top is a winning combination.

Mikiah Herbert Harrigan and other players on the Phoenix Mercury coordinated their outfits around t-shirts that celebrated their teammates who competed in the Olympics. Harrigan's t-shirt is paired with ripped jeans and a classic pair of Jordan's in a white and red colorway. She makes sports merchandise look really fun to actually wear, and the subtle accessorizing with her "Kiki" necklace feels too cool.

At this point in the season, Nika Mühl has become the rookie who's quickly established her signature style-- icy, Y2K-inspired sunglasses and strong, structured blazers. This week feels like a formal return from the break, with her all-white, oversized blazer dress and pointy-toed silver heels.
