WNBA star DiJonai Carrington sends a lovely message for girlfriend NaLyssa Smith

DiJonai Carrington and dozens of WNBA players are getting ready to participate in the inaugural "Unrivaled" league. However, Carrington's girlfriend and Indiana Fever player NaLyssa Smith traveled to China to play basketball in the Chinese league.

Separated by thousands of miles and on different continents, Carrington posted a picture with Smith on her IG story. She wrote in the caption that while they are used to the long-distance relationship, being thousands of miles away is hitting her differently.

"We're used to long distance ofc, but this time it's a 15 hour time difference & we're 6,500 miles apart," Carrington wrote below her IG story.

"I miss you lovebug."

Carrington and Smith have been together since they played at Baylor University. However, once they joined the WNBA, they were drafted by different teams. Carrington plays for the Sun and Smith plays for the Fever.
