In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Carrington told her followers that she wanted to have a burner account. She can't say the things she couldn't say online because of possible hate or backlash. She has been hit hard by comments on social media, especially after clashing with Caitlin Clark last season.

"I need a burner so bad so I can freely tweet my thoughts about this game w/o being called a hater cuzzzzzzzz mannnnn 😂😂😂😂😂," Carrington tweeted.

NaLyssa Smith was limited to just two points and seven rebounds in Game 3. The Las Vegas Aces nearly choked the game, with A'ja Wilson hitting a game-winning jump shot to give the Aces a 3-0 series lead.

It's unclear what DiJonai Carrington is talking about since players are allowed to support other teams and players. Smith wore a Connecticut Sun jersey to support Carrington in the 2024 WNBA playoffs. Smith was playing for the Indiana Fever at the time, though she was traded later to the Dallas Wings.

Carrington was also sent to the Wings that same offseason, with the couple becoming teammates for a brief period. The Wings traded Smith to the Las Vegas Aces at the end of June.

On the other hand, Carrington was acquired by the Minnesota Lynx before the trade deadline. She was the team's primary player off the bench, but an injury in the first round forced her out for the rest of the postseason.
