WNBA rocked by multi-player cheating scandal as DiJonai Carrington calls out ex NaLyssa Smith - Fox News

What the report says

Fox News, through OutKick, reported that WNBA player DiJonai Carrington used a Threads post to accuse her former girlfriend, Las Vegas Aces forward NaLyssa Smith, of cheating with multiple players. The post named Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye and referred to additional unnamed people. The report said the allegations surfaced during WNBA All-Star weekend and quickly drew attention around the league.

According to the article, Carrington and Smith had been in a long-term relationship dating back to their time at Baylor before both reached the WNBA. Fox reported that the two had previously presented their split in more muted terms, with Carrington telling fans they had “grew in different directions,” before the newer social media accusation suggested a different account of the breakup.

The article said Smith, Kelly and Nye had not publicly responded at the time of publication. Fox also noted that Carrington and Smith had briefly been teammates on the Dallas Wings during the 2025 season before Smith was traded to the Aces. Kelly is also with Las Vegas, while Nye is identified in the report as being connected to the Atlanta Dream for a later matchup.

The matter is significant mainly because it involves multiple current WNBA players and has shifted public attention from on-court All-Star coverage to a personal dispute playing out on social media. Fox reported upcoming games could add visibility to the story, including a scheduled Sky-Aces meeting on Aug. 1 and another matchup involving Nye on Sept. 19.
