Connecticut Suns forward DiJonai Carrington is having an offseason to remember. She thrilled her 398,000 followers on Instagram with glamorous photos from her appearance at the Miami Art Basel.
The photos were posted on her Instagram story on Thursday, December 3. Before she attended the art event, she was present at the Lobos party, which was held at Chateau ZZ's also at Miami.
The reigning WNBA Most Improved Player recently stirred up a frenzy on social media when she made a cameo appearance for the Connecticut Suns' team schedule video. The video in question was centered around using weather forecasts to announce its schedule for the upcoming WNBA season.

Carrington and the Suns will be hoping to do better than last season, where they reached the playoffs after sweeping Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. They eventually lost (2-3) in the semifinals to the Minnesota Lynx. She ended the season averaging 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.56 steals per game.
DiJonai Carrington's seatbelt celebration appeared to be copied by Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown
DiJonai Carrington's last season in the WNBA was a revelation in terms of her defensive impact for the Suns. Her "seatbelt" celebration became a trademark whenever she succeeded in locking up an opposition attack.
During an NBA Cup game between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls on Nov. 29, Jaylen Brown appeared to have done a similar celebration. In the video posted on X by Bleacher Report, his alleged "copy-cat" celebration came after he made a poster dunk on Chicago's Jalen Smith.
The video caught the attention of fans as they were divided between Carrington and Brown as to who perfected the iconic celebration. Regardless, it was nice to see the Suns' star get acknowledged by fans from all over social media.
Carrington demonstrated her defensive prowess last season as she was ranked ninth in the WNBA in steals (61). The Suns start the new season at home on May 18 against the Washington Mystics at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Montville, NJ.
