WNBA star DiJonai Carrington accuses ex NaLyssa Smith of cheating

Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington posted on Threads on July 26, alleging that her former partner, Las Vegas Aces guard NaLyssa Smith, had been unfaithful with multiple WNBA players, naming Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye among them. Smith later addressed the claim in a livestream, questioning why the matter was being aired publicly a year after their relationship ended.

The accusations sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with fans and commentators debating the personal drama and its impact on the league’s image. The incident was also discussed on The Fumble podcast, which considered whether the WNBA’s off‑court controversies could support a reality‑show format.
