2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carrington played mainly off the bench over the first three years of her career, but she enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024 while serving exclusively as a starter, averaging 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.6 minutes per game. While she was one of the most improved players in 2024, she was traded to Dallas during the offseason and will join a backcourt that already includes superstar Arike Ogunbowale and will presumably add guard Paige Bueckers with the first overall pick in the draft. The Wings will have a new-look lineup at several positions in 2025, so Carrington could continue to be a somewhat reliable contributor. However, fantasy managers should exercise some caution when considering her in drafts, as she carries some bust potential. Read Past Outlooks

Foot
September 20, 2025
Carrington has been diagnosed with a left mid-foot sprain and will miss the remainder of the postseason, Sara Jane Gamelli of BallisLife.com reports Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Carrington sustained the foot injury in Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Valkyries and won't return for the remainder of the playoffs. Natisha Hiedeman and Courtney Williams are candidates to absorb extra playing time due to Carrington being sidelined. The 27-year-old guard appeared in 31 regular-season games between Dallas and Minnesota, averaging 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals across 21.9 minutes per game. She's slated to become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Carrington played exclusively as a reserve in her 32 appearances last year, but she saw more looks from the floor and improved her three-point efficiency to see an uptick in her scoring average despite a slight decline in playing time. Overall, the 26-year-old averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.2 minutes per game. Carrington generally saw consistent playing time, but she played under 15 minutes in half of her appearances last year and averaged just 3.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game during those matchups. She's made just three starts over her first three seasons in the WNBA but could compete for a starting role in 2024 after Tiffany Hayes announced her retirement. However, the Sun also brought Tiffany Mitchell and Moriah Jefferson in during the offseason. Carrington's role is slightly up in the air, but she's had consistent production over the past two seasons and could see her usage increase in 2024, especially if she can win a starting role to begin the regular season.
Carrington experienced an uptick in playing time during her second professional season in 2022 but still came off the bench in all but two of her 36 appearances. She averaged 6.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game, getting to the charity stripe at a reasonably high rate (4.8 free-throw attempts per 40 minutes; 26th in WNBA). The 25-year-old scored in double figures 14 times but wasn't exceptionally reliable from three-point range (30.6 percent) and didn't compile many ancillary stats, though she did have a nose for rebounds (3.1 per game). While it was encouraging to see Carrington's role increase slightly in 2022 after she averaged just 9.2 minutes per game as a rookie, she didn't produce in enough areas to warrant a look in many fantasy formats.
As a rookie last season, Carrington averaged 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game. The 20th overall pick in the 2021 draft started one contest for the Sun last year, but her career-high 14 points came against the Liberty on Sept. 15 when she played 20 minutes for the only time all season. The second-year guard figures to compete with Kaila Charles for a rotational role behind the likes of Courtney Williams, Jasmine Thomas and Natisha Hiedeman.
