Overview

  • The team announced that Carrington will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after evaluation by team physician Dr. Elena Jelsing at Mayo Clinic Square confirmed the injury.
  • She injured her left foot late in Game 2 of the first round against Golden State, exited in the fourth quarter, and was later seen in a walking boot and on crutches.
  • Carrington had been ruled out for Sunday’s Game 1 of the semifinals against the Phoenix Mercury before the season-ending diagnosis was issued.
  • Acquired from the Dallas Wings in August, the All-Defensive guard contributed 8.6 points per game in 11 regular-season appearances with career-best shooting efficiency.
  • Minnesota loses a two-way bench piece, with minutes likely shifting to guards Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman as the top-seeded Lynx begin the semifinal series.
