WNBA Insider Notes Chennedy Carter's Potential Return to Sky Comes With Restrictions
More layers were added to this narrative when WNBA insider and Chicago Sun-Times reporter Annie Costabile discussed Carter's potential return to Chicago in a January 4 article.
"Pagliocca’s first order of business will be extending qualifying offers to restricted free agents Dana Evans, Chennedy Carter and Michaela Onyenwere," Costabile wrote.
"A qualifying offer comes with an automatic one-year contract and the right to match any offer extended by another team. While Carter’s stats demonstrated her importance on a failing roster, the Sky’s decision to re-sign her isn’t that simple.
"The Sky need assurances that she will be reliable on and off the court and will buy into a system that, as coach Tyler Marsh said, will not hinge on one player’s success," she added.
"Expect Pagliocca to extend qualifying offers to all three players, but Evans and Carter returning to the Sky is less probable than Onyenwere coming back."
