Overview

  • An MRI and evaluation by team physician Dr. Elena Jelsing at Mayo Clinic Square confirmed a significant left mid-foot sprain.
  • Carrington was injured late in Game 2 of the first round against the Golden State Valkyries and was later seen in a walking boot and on crutches.
  • She was initially listed out for Game 1 versus the Phoenix Mercury, and the team has now ruled her out for the remainder of the season.
  • In 11 regular-season games with Minnesota following her August trade from Dallas, she averaged 8.6 points on 48.5% shooting and 45.5% from three.
  • Minnesota is expected to redistribute backcourt minutes, with reports pointing to Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman as candidates for larger roles.
