Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington is having an incredible season.

Carrington, who helped lead the Sun to the semifinals of the WNBA Playoffs and won the league's Most Improved Player award, has earned the label of one of the league's top perimeter defenders and she has consistently came through in the clutch.

She is also one half of the WNBA power couple alongside Indiana Fever forward NaLyssa Smith.

The two caught extra attention during the first round of the postseason as their teams faced off against each other after engagement rumors swirled near the end of the regular season. NaLyssa saw a decrease in playing time and appeared to say farewell to the Fever after the season.

DiJonai went as far as to call for the Fever to "Free NaLyssa" after Indiana was bounced from the postseason.

Now that the two are no longer facing each other on the court, they can be more open about their appreciation for each other off of it, and that was the case when a video of NaLyssa's new hairstyle had DiJonai swooning online.
