Dallas Wings Acquire DiJonai Carrington in Major Trade with Connecticut Sun

The trade includes multiple draft picks and signals a significant roster overhaul for the Sun while reuniting Carrington with familiar faces in Dallas.

  • The Dallas Wings received DiJonai Carrington, the 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player, along with the No. 12 pick in the 2025 draft and the right to swap 2026 second-round picks with the Connecticut Sun.
  • In exchange, the Connecticut Sun acquired guard Jacy Sheldon, the No. 5 pick in the 2024 draft, and the No. 8 pick in the 2025 draft.
  • Carrington, known for her defensive prowess and career-best 2024 season, will reunite with Wings GM Curt Miller and head coach Chris Koclanes, both of whom she worked with during her time in Connecticut.
  • This trade is part of a broader roster overhaul for the Sun, who have now lost four of their 2024 starters, including Alyssa Thomas, Brionna Jones, and Tyasha Harris, to trades or free agency.
  • The Sun appear to be entering a rebuilding phase under new head coach Rachid Meziane and GM Morgan Tuck, with only a few players from last season's rotation remaining.
