In the realm of sly Instagram quips, Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter might have just earned herself MVP honors. While hooping overseas in China with Wuhan Shengfan, Carter took a moment to deliver a knockout punch—this time on social media, not the hardwood.
In her IG stories, Carter shared a meme about receiving a call from a “healthy, long-lasting relationship.” Spoiler alert: She’s still waiting on that call. With a dash of humor and a pinch of shade, Carter penned the now-legendary four-word caption: “Never got that call.”
For anyone keeping score, Carter has had more successful plays on the court than in the dating department—at least according to her. Although her love life is under wraps, it hasn’t stopped her from stirring speculation, as she recently posted snaps with her rumored girlfriend. Cue the mystery and internet sleuths! The identity of the woman remains unknown, and Carter isn’t offering any assists in that department.
Carter’s Journey: From WNBA Sideline to Overseas Stardom
While she’s dealing with missed calls in her personal life, Chennedy’s been making all the right moves professionally. Like many of her WNBA peers, Carter is taking her talents overseas in the offseason to keep the buckets coming. After signing with Wuhan Shengfan in China’s WCBA, she’s balling out and enjoying some dumplings on the side. This is far from Carter’s first rodeo abroad, as she’s previously played in Turkey, Poland, and even had a stint with the Heilongjiang Dragons last season.
Her international adventures come after a turbulent few years in the WNBA. Carter was once a promising star for the Atlanta Dream, but let’s just say things didn’t go as smoothly as her crossover. A few on-court spats later, Carter found herself traded to the LA Sparks, where history repeated itself. After taking a breather to recharge, Carter returned to the W in 2023, signing with the Chicago Sky. And boy, did she make a comeback—finishing fourth in Most Improved Player voting while averaging a career-high 17.5 points per game.
Free Agency Frenzy: Carter’s Next Big Move?
Now, the big question: Where will Chennedy Carter land next? With her 2025 free agency looming (mark your calendars for Jan. 21), she’s going to be one of the hottest names on the market. The Chicago Sky still have the upper hand as they can match any offers for their rising star. But with numbers like hers—17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists per game, and a field goal percentage pushing 49%—there are sure to be plenty of suitors lining up. Sure, her three-point shot still needs some fine-tuning (29% from beyond the arc isn’t exactly Curry-like), but it’s hard to argue with her overall offensive output.
While Carter might not be getting calls from her “healthy, long-lasting relationship,” she’ll certainly be getting plenty from WNBA GMs desperate to add her scoring prowess to their rosters. For now, though, she’s living her best life in China—draining buckets, dropping memes, and leaving her fans guessing about her love life.
One thing’s for sure: whether it’s on the court or on Instagram, Chennedy Carter knows how to keep us entertained.
