Still, that's not to say Carrington left the Wings without any fond memories. Carrington and Smith mentored Paige Bueckers prior to their trades out of Dallas, with Bueckers admitting on Monday that she considered them her "big sisters."

The Minnesota Lynx and Dallas Wings announced a trade Sunday morning, with the Lynx adding veteran wing DiJonai Carrington and sending Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and their 2027 second round pick to Dallas.

In exchange for Carrington, the Wing will receive Lynx guard Diamond Miller, Lynx guard Karlie Samuelson and Minnesota's 2027 second-round pick.
