DiJonai Carrington has predicted a new femme couple in the locker room next season after the Dallas Wings selected UConn standout Paige Bueckers as their No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft. On Tuesday, Carrington shared a tweet on X about it.

Carrington herself is currently in a relationship with teammate NaLyssa Smith, and they are the only publicly known queer couple in Dallas at the moment. She now seems eager to witness another relationship form within the team from the 2025 draft class.
The Wings secured Paige Bueckers with the first pick on Monday while also adding NC State star Aziaha James (No. 12), Ole Miss star Madison Scott (No. 14), West Virginia guard JJ Quinerly (No. 27) and Baylor's Aaronette Vonleh (No. 31). Bueckers enters the WNBA off the back of her recent success with the UConn Huskies women's team as they won the NCAA championship this year.
James, on the other hand, became the top scorer for NC State in two consecutive seasons and posted a career-best 17.9 points per game in her senior year. Scott was included in the 2025 All-SEC Second Team, while Quinerly claimed the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honor. They now aim for strong starts to their professional careers.

As the new season draws closer, the Wings will look to put up a strong challenge with their experienced stars and talented rookies expected to step up where needed.
