WNBA deals with Skylar Diggins benching, Chennedy Carter release and All‑Star voting dispute

Chicago Sky guard Skylar Diggins was benched by the team and publicly voiced concerns about facilities, while Las Vegas Aces waived forward Chennedy Carter. The moves were discussed on The IX Sports Podcast, which also highlighted Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve’s record‑breaking win total and the league’s All‑Star roster.

Separately, retired WNBA star Candace Parker criticized fellow players for ranking Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark low in the All‑Star voting, calling the vote a sign of insecurity. Parker argued that Clark, a top scorer, deserved a higher placement and that the voting process should reflect talent rather than personal biases.
