Raquel Carrera - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Subdued campaign continues Carrera supplied one assist across five minutes during Tuesday's 88-77 loss to the Wings.

Impact That's now three straight scoreless games by Carrera, who appears to be buried on New York's depth chart at center behind Jonquel Jones and Han Xu. Carrera has reached the 10-minute marker just twice over her 10 appearances in 2026.

Scores seven against Seattle Carrera contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds in 17 minutes during Thursday's 99-88 loss to Seattle.

Impact Carrera has been on the fringes of New York's rotation for most of the season, but she saw an uptick in work Thursday since the Liberty were playing without Breanna Stewart (rest) and Satou Sabally (concussion). Carrera matched her season-best marks in points and rebounds in the defeat, but she'll likely see less usage once Stewart and Sabally are back in action.

Totals seven points off bench Carrera provided seven points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 13 minutes during Monday's 89-80 win over the Sun.

Impact Carrera was sharp in her brief time off the bench, posting a solid rebounding total, while accounting for one of the team's four blocks. She was seeing a bump in playing time with Jonquel Jones (illness) out due to illness, and Han Xu moving from a bench role to the starting lineup. Once Jones is well, Carrera's playing time is likely to dry up again.
