GAME LOG
Won't play vs. Golden State Carrington (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Valkyries, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.
Impact Carrington will miss a second straight game due to a shoulder injury. The team will likely lean on Natisha Hiedeman and Jaylyn Sherrod to pick up the slack.
SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
No-go Thursday Carrington (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Aces.
Impact Carrington suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Wings and didn't return. She'll be held out of Thursday's matchup against Las Vegas due to the issue. Natasha Hiedeman and Jaylyn Sherrod could see an uptick in minutes while Carringotn is idle. Her next chance to play will come Saturday at Golden State.

Hiedeman has 20 points and career-high 10 assists for first double-double as Lynx beat Wings 96-71

Napheesa Collier scored 25 points, Natisha Hiedeman added 20 points and a career-high 10 assists for her first double-double, and the Minnesota Lynx beat the Dallas Wings 96-71
SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • Associated Press
Won't return Monday Carrington (shoulder) won't return to Monday's game against the Wings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Impact Carrington sustained the shoulder injury in the second quarter and didn't return after halftime. She'll finish with four points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one steal and one block across 10 minutes. Natisha Hiedeman will likely see a bump in minutes the rest of the way with Carrington and Kayla McBride (rest) sidelined. Carrington's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's game against the Aces.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful to return Monday Carrington sustained a shoulder injury in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Wings and is doubtful to return.
Impact With Kayla McBride (rest) sidelined, Carrington drew the start against her former team. However, she didn't return from the locker room after halftime and is unlikely to check back in during the second half. If the 27-year-old guard is unable to return, she'll finish with four points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one steal and one block across 10 minutes. Natisha Hiedeman and Jaylyn Sherrod are candidates for an uptick in playing time if Carrington remains sidelined.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starting sans McBride Carrington will start in Monday's game against the Wings, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.
Impact The 27-year-old guard will get the starting nod against her former team due to Kayla McBride (rest) being sidelined. Over her last five appearances, Carrington has averaged 7.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 13.8 minutes per game.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Paces bench in win Carrington provided 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, three steals and one rebound across 17 minutes in Saturday's 94-70 win over the Sun.
Impact Following four consecutive games with single-digit points, Carrington tied the game-high mark in scoring and was one of five Minnesota players to reach double figures. Her 18-point performance also marked her highest-scoring game with the Lynx in 10 appearances since being acquired from Dallas. The 27-year-old guard also recorded a game high in steals, tying her season best.
AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 11 off bench Carrington totaled 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 85-75 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Carrington bounced back nicely after being held to four points in Saturday's game against the Liberty. Carrington has enjoyed some success with her new team, posting averages of 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 20.6 minutes across five appearances.

WNBA power rankings: Did the Minnesota Lynx win the trade deadline? Despite being without Napheesa Collier all week, Minnesota is 3-0 since trading for DiJonai Carrington.
AUGUST 11, 2025 • NYTIMES.COM
Amasses 15 points off bench Carrington totaled 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 24 minutes in Sunday's 83-71 win over the Liberty.
Impact Carrington has really perked up since going from the non-contending Wings to the Lynx. She has been a welcome addition since the Lynx need some offensive punch with Napheesa Collier (ankle) shelved due to injury. Carrington is averaging 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers per game in three appearances since being acquired from the Wings.

McBride and Carrington help Minnesota top New York 83-71 in WNBA Finals rematch

Kayla McBride scored 18 points and DiJonai Carrington added 15 to help the Minnesota Lynx beat the New York Liberty 83-71
AUGUST 10, 2025 • Associated Press
Puts up 12 points in tight win Carrington posted 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 80-76 win over Washington.
Impact Carrington has fit like a glove in the Lynx's backcourt since being acquired via trade on Aug. 3, scoring in double digits in her two appearances off the bench. She logged 29 minutes in this win over the Mystics, and she's a good bet to log around 20 to 25 minutes on a regular basis. While she's not likely to score in double digits in every game, she should be a steady contributor in the second unit for the Lynx.
