DiJonai Carrington received qualifying offer from Connecticut Sun

DiJonai Carrington was recently presented with a qualifying offer from the Connecticut Sun, which has effectively restricted her from entering unrestricted free agency. Witht the move, the Sun ensured that they have the right to match any contract that the young guard may sign with a different team.

Prior to the Sun extending this restricted qualifying offer, Carrington had expressed her thoughts regarding the free agency process.

"My focus right now is to continue to develop my game and my skills. Hopefully teams will see that and my team obviously knows that. We'll see where it takes us," Carrington said.

As Carrington has now become a restricted free agent, the sole avenue for the Sky to acquire the 5-foot-11 guard would be through a sign-and-trade deal. The front office in Chicago would need to devise a compelling trade package to persuade the Sun, depending upon Carrington's own interest in joining Angel Reese and her teammates.

As for Carrington, the star guard is presently competing for the Mist Basketball Club in the 3x3 Unrivaled League.
