Still, that's not to say Carrington left the Wings without any fond memories. Carrington and Smith mentored Paige Bueckers prior to their trades out of Dallas, with Bueckers admitting on Monday that she considered them her "big sisters."

DiJonai Carrington is thrilled to be with the Lynx, and she shared her feelings after beating the Storm on Tuesday.

In exchange for Carrington, the Wing will receive Lynx guard Diamond Miller, Lynx guard Karlie Samuelson and Minnesota's 2027 second-round pick.
