After lighting up the WNBA with her electric play in the 2024 season, Chennedy Carter isn’t slowing down. Nope, not even a little. She’s taken her talents to the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA), joining Wuhan Shengfan and giving fans overseas a front-row seat to the Chennedy Show. And boy, did she make an entrance.
On Tuesday, Carter dropped a gem on her Instagram story—a highlight reel that would make even the sauciest ball-handlers break a sweat. In it, she’s out there dancing with the ball like it owes her money, weaving through defenders, and capping it off with a silky mid-range jumper. Oh, and the caption? Pure fire:
“Lmk if ur fav can move like this. I can’t wait to see yall this summer; it’s gonna be funny ngl.”
Yes, Chennedy. We are laughing—but only because your handle has us in disbelief.
Chennedy’s Sky-High Comeback
Let’s not forget: this is the same Chennedy Carter who missed the entire 2023 WNBA season after being waived. Many counted her out, but Carter doesn’t just bounce back; she storms in. In 2024, she inked a one-year deal with the Chicago Sky and proceeded to set career highs left and right.
Her numbers? Jaw-dropping. She averaged 17.5 points per game on 48.7% shooting, added 3.5 rebounds per game, and kept the Sky in the playoff hunt—right up until Angel Reese’s unfortunate injury put a damper on their postseason dreams.
But let’s be honest, Carter was the heart of the team’s offensive punch. Sky fans were chanting her name louder than a BTS concert crowd.
A Mysterious Future in Chicago
Despite her stellar season, her return to Chicago is more of a question mark than a period. With the offseason came changes, and the Sky swapped out head coach Teresa Weatherspoon for former Indiana Pacers assistant Tyler Marsh.
Marsh, in his first presser, gave shoutouts to cornerstone stars like Angel Reese and Camilla Cardoso. Noticeably absent? Chennedy Carter.
Could this be a sign that Carter’s Chicago chapter is closing? Marsh might as well have sent Sky fans into a collective frenzy by saying, “We’ll see.” Speculation is swirling, but Carter, ever the queen of confidence, seems unfazed. She’s too busy breaking ankles and scoring buckets in China to sweat over a press conference snub.
Fans Want Answers
Sky fans are practically begging the front office to lock Carter down for another season. After all, you don’t just let a player with her swagger and stat line walk. But the silence from Marsh and company has them sweating harder than defenders trying to keep up with Carter’s crossover.
Could the Sky be eyeing a different direction, or are they just playing hard to get? One thing’s for sure—if Carter hits the free-agent market, there will be no shortage of teams sliding into her agent’s DMs.
The Final Dribble
As Carter continues to dazzle in the WCBA, one thing is clear: she’s got the skills to keep any team competitive, whether in Chicago or beyond. And for the haters? Well, let her Instagram caption serve as a warning:
Your favorite might be good, but can they move like Chennedy? Didn’t think so.
Stay tuned, folks. This offseason could be as spicy as Carter’s highlight reel.
