The rumors of their breakup started in late October when Carrington reposted a post on her X handle.

"& if you left me at my lowest thank you❤️," the post read.

In the first week of November, the breakup rumors got more intense when the Minnesota Lynx and Smith unfollowed each other on social media. Days later, DiJonai Carrington appeared in Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman's "StudBudz" Twitch channel.

During the livestream, Williams made a hilarious comment, hinting at Carrington's single status.

"To my dawg being back in the business," Williams said.

Carrington and Smith had been in a relationship since they played together at Baylor. Despite being away from each other and eventually playing for two different teams in the WNBA, the former couple maintained their relationship. They had broken up last season, but got back together once the season was over.

DiJonai Carrington to miss Unrivaled with foot injury

DiJonai Carrington played in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled earlier this year in January. She was part of the Mist BC with stars like Breanna Stewart, Rickea Jackson and Courtney Vandersloot.

Unfortunately, the Lynx star will not participate in the second season, which is set to start next year. According to reports, she will sit out the season to rehab her foot injury. She suffered a foot sprain during the Lynx's first-round playoff series against the Golden State Valkyries.

Carrington has to be extra careful about her rehab, given the number of injuries she has suffered in her career. The Lynx star has suffered ACL injuries in both her knees. According to Sports Illustrated, Carrington has also undergone a total of six knee surgeries.

The Lynx are one of the top teams in the league. Next year, if they want to have any chance at the title, they would need a healthy Carrington.
