Chennedy Carter has played in the WNBA with Angel Reese before.<\/p>\n

Social media chatter is wondering if they could reunite with the Atlanta Dream<\/a> now that Reese has been traded there from the Chicago Sky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There hasn’t been any real reporting on the matter, but women’s basketball fans want to see Carter join Reese in the ATL.<\/p>\n

Carter has come under fire throughout her WNBA career, both for “conduct detrimental to the team” in 2021 with the Dream and then again in 2024 when she had a hard foul on Caitlin Clark draw a lot of criticism.<\/p>\n

That would make her a risky signing in one sense.<\/p>\n

But if Carter can handle herself off the court and in her decision-making, her ability would make her worth taking the chance on.<\/p>\n

Carter is a career 14.6 point per game scorer.<\/p>\n

She came out of Texas A&M as the No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft after being a near-unstoppable scorer for the Aggies.<\/p>\n

She spent her first two seasons with Atlanta before things got dicey.<\/p>\n

She played for the Los Angeles Sparks<\/a> in 2022, no one in the WNBA in 2023 and then the Sky in 2024.<\/p>\n

Carter wasn’t in the league in 2025.<\/p>\n

She’s still just 28 years old, so Carter could have a lot of quality ball left to play if she’s given the chance.<\/p>\n

There are so many free agents this offseason that it’s unlikely anyone will rush to sign Carter. But later in the bidding game, if someone needs a scoring guard — particularly if Reese’s new team needs a scoring guard — maybe Carter is someone worth considering.<\/p>\n
