NaLyssa Smith leaves Caitlin Clark and Fever to join girlfriend DiJonai Carrington on Wings

NaLyssa Smith is no longer with Caitlin Clark and the Fever. She joined the Dallas Wings this offseason in a four-team trade, where she will be playing with her girlfriend, DiJonai Carrington, for the first time in the WNBA. The deal saw the Fever land Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham, with Satou Sabally going to Phoenix.

Smith spent her entire WNBA career with the Fever until last season. She was a starter last year. However, after a career-low season following Caitlin Clark's arrival, the Fever deemed Smith finding a new home was ideal in this situation. Smith spent three years in Indiana. In 103 appearances and 97 starts, she averaged 13.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, shooting 45.8%, including 33.0% from 3.

After Smith's departure, Indiana cleared space in return to sign DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard and Sydney Colson in free agency. They leaned on adding more experience and veteran leadership after falling short in the playoffs. The Fever were swept in the first round by current coach Stephanie White's Connecticut Sun team.
