Following consecutive injury filled offseasons, Connecticut Sun guard/forward DiJonai Carrington proved herself this season and put herself in a position to win the league’s Most Improved Player (MIP) award.
Drafted in the second round of the WNBA Draft to the Sun back in 2021, Carrington averaged only 2.8 points and 0.5 steals per game in her rookie season. Her production has improved each season in Uncasville, and last season she finished second place in voting for the Sixth Woman of the Year award. This season Carrington moved into a larger role with the team and has started in all but one game. Her tenacity and defensive intensity fit right in with Connecticut’s style of play.
