"Knew She Was Doing Something Crazy" - Courtney Williams Appears to Celebrate DiJonai Carrington's Alleged Split with NaLyssa Smith

Amid breakup rumors, Courtney Williams seemingly confirmed the split between DiJonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith. Williams gave a toast during a recent stream, telling the viewers they were celebrating Carrington being "ready for the field."

On the latest live stream on their "Studbudz" Twitch channel, Williams and Natisha Heideman welcomed Carrington to the fray. Midway through the stream, Williams introduced booze and wanted to give a toast to all the success they had. She also mentioned Carrington's status as being "ready" to start dating again.

Carrington almost choked on her drink and laughed at what her teammate said. She played along and downed her booze, though she would later shake her head in hilarious disappointment.

"Knew she was doing something crazy," Carrington said.

DiJonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith have been together since 2020 during their time at Oregon, though they did endure a brief split last year. Carrington even supported Smith during the Las Vegas Aces' championship run.

However, the Minnesota Lynx guard shared cryptic messages in her recent posts on social media, prompting their fans to speculate that they have broken up. It didn't help that Carrington and Smith unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Following Courtney Williams' toast, it seemed like Smith didn't like what she saw and heard. One of their fans reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the Aces forward unfollowed both Williams and Natisha Hiedeman.

A few minutes later, an eagle-eyed follower was confused since Smith reposted the clip of Williams' toast on her X account. The former No. 2 pick hasn't commented on their status, though she shared her first post in two weeks earlier this week.

After missing the rest of the playoffs with a foot injury, DiJonai Carrington is set to sit out the second season of Unrivaled. Carrington was initially announced as part of the 3-on-3 league's roster for the upcoming campaign, but her foot injury needed surgery, and she needs time to make a full recovery.

Unrivaled announced her absence, though her replacement among the newly acquired players is unknown, as announced by Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports. Carrington is prioritizing her health, especially with the upcoming WNBA free agency.

If the new CBA gets signed, the contracts are likely to inflate in value, so it's going to be important for players to be able to be at their best when negotiations begin.
