The WNBA is entering a new wave of popularity with the new CBA (when confirmed) and young stars bringing in a massive fanbase. Yet there are a few names that remained in the limelight, despite being away from the league. One such name is the Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter.
The Sky franchise opted not to extend her qualifying contract, and she remained a free agent in the 2025 season. Recently, Carter’s cryptic announcement post sparked her Unrivaled Debut rumors, which were also false. However, she silenced all the doubters with her special accolade in the Chinese league, the WCBA.
Chennedy Carter Dominating WCBA
During the 2025 roster trimming, the Sky franchise cut ties with Chennedy Carter, who then played in a Mexican team, the Adelitas de Chihuahua, for a while before switching to the WCBA. The player remained one of the top scorers in the league with multiple 40+ point games and the highest score of 44 for the Wuhan-based team.
She finished the year, averaging 30.9 points per game while shooting 52.8% from two-point range. Along with the high-scoring performances, the guard averaged six rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
