During a podcast episode, Candace Parker and Sydney Colson mentioned that the league is full of gays, while making a team for a gay vs straight All-Star game. While the former Aces’ pair was spot on with their analysis, the number might come down by one as DiJonai Carrington hinted at a possible breakup with NaLyssa Smith.
While she didn’t directly mention a breakup, her words and Smith’s ‘unfollowing’ act started the separation rumor. Now, Courtney Williams’ comment further solidifies the possibility.

The Stud Budz are one of the most beloved duos in the WNBA fan base, with their live streams going viral on a regular basis. They had their Lynx teammate in their recent live stream as they celebrated the offseason. While celebrating, the explosive guard’s words nearly confirmed the rumored breakup.
Williams gave a toast and said, “To my dawg being back in the business.” The Lynx forward tried to laugh it aside and exclaimed, “Back in LA.” But her smile further confirmed the breakup news. She even mentioned that she knew that the 31-year-old guard was doing something crazy.
