Chennedy Carter, Chicago Sky’s electric guard and Angel Reese’s partner-in-hoops, just dropped a relatable truth bomb on her Instagram stories—one that might hit a little too close to home for many. In a classic tongue-in-cheek fashion, Carter quipped about her relationship status with a meme so on-point, it feels like a direct call to anyone who’s still swiping left and right without much success.
Her message? Well, it’s short, sweet, and spicy: “Never got that call.” That’s right, Carter humorously admitted she’s yet to receive a ring from that elusive “healthy long-lasting relationship,” a nod to her apparently uneventful dating history—or at least the part she’s willing to share. Ouch, but also, relatable, right?
Carter’s Private Love Life, Well, Sort Of…
While Carter may be keeping things low-key in the romance department, the sharp-shooting guard recently sparked rumors by posting pictures of an alleged girlfriend on her Instagram. But, before you start sleuthing through the likes and comments, pump the brakes—Carter’s not spilling the tea on the mystery woman’s identity. The plot thickens, but she’s letting her IG stories do the talking for now. Just enough to keep fans guessing, right?
Taking Her Talents to China
When she’s not busy dropping cryptic relationship posts, Carter’s grinding on the court. Like many WNBA stars, she’s taken her game overseas, signing with the Wuhan Shengfan in China’s WCBA. Because, apparently, hooping in just one country isn’t enough for Carter. She’s already suited up in Turkey and Poland, so why not add China to her ever-growing basketball passport?
The WCBA season kicked off on October 17 and will run until April 21. That’s seven months of buckets, buzzer-beaters, and probably some epic takeout. Carter’s been through this overseas routine before, so it’s safe to say she knows how to juggle life in a new country with dominating on the court.
From WNBA Woes to Redemption Arc
Now, let’s not forget Carter’s rocky past in the WNBA. After a hot start with the Atlanta Dream, on-court drama led to her exit. The LA Sparks took a chance on her, but again, things got messy, and Carter stepped away from the league in 2023. It looked like she might be another “what could have been” story, but fast forward to 2024, and she’s back with the Chicago Sky, playing like she’s got something to prove—and prove it she did.
Carter had her best season to date, averaging 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. She even landed fourth in the Most Improved Player voting—because, you know, bouncing back is kind of her thing. Sure, her three-point shooting at 29% leaves a little room for improvement, but hey, nobody’s perfect (especially not your average 48.7% shooter from the field).
Free Agency Frenzy Incoming
With free agency looming on January 21, Carter is set to be one of the most coveted restricted free agents in the league. Any team that wants her will have to outbid the Chicago Sky—who have the upper hand in matching offers. Will she stay in the Windy City, or will another team sweep her off her feet with a hefty contract? Only time will tell.
Until then, Chennedy Carter will keep doing her thing—both on the court and on IG, reminding us all that love might be fleeting, but her game is solid as ever.
