Chennedy Carter to Play 2023 Season in Turkey

Former Chicago Sky Guard Signs with Overseas Club

Carter Cleared Waivers During Offseason

Former Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter has signed with a Turkish club for the 2023 season. Carter cleared waivers during the offseason and was not picked up by any other WNBA team.

Carter was a standout player at the University of Texas A&M before being drafted by the Chicago Sky with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft. She averaged 10.3 points and 4.3 assists per game in her rookie season, but her production declined in her second season.

Carter's departure from the Sky is a sign of the team's struggles in recent years. The Sky missed the playoffs in 2022 and finished with a 13-21 record. Carter's signing with a Turkish club is a reminder of the growing popularity of women's basketball overseas.

Carter's move to Turkey could be a good opportunity for her to resurrect her WNBA career. She will be playing for one of the top teams in the Turkish league, and she will have the chance to showcase her skills against some of the best players in the world.

Carter's decision to play overseas is a reminder that there are many different paths to success in women's basketball. Not every player who is drafted into the WNBA will be able to stick with the league for their entire career. But there are plenty of opportunities for players to continue playing at a high level overseas.
