Days ahead of the 2025 WNBA trade deadline (Aug. 7 at 3 p.m. ET), the league-leading Minnesota Lynx made a big swing to try and bolster their title chances. Early on Sunday, the Lynx sent Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round pick to the Dallas Wings for 2024 Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington.

The WNBA’s top defense by a wide margin added to its defensive arsenal Sunday, acquiring Dallas wing DiJonai Carrington in a trade that sent wing Diamond Miller, guard Karlie Samuelson and Minnesota’s 2027 second-round draft pick to the Wings.

After shipping off DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx, Curt Miller's first offseason as GM of the Dallas Wings is looking like a major disappointment. Still, the Wings have hope yet.
