Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington was named the 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player on Wednesday.

Carrington, 26, received 28 of 67 votes from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.

Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby (18 votes) was second and Minnesota Lynx forward Bridget Carleton (15) finished third.

Carrington averaged career highs of 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 39 starts this season.

Those numbers were up from 8.3 points, 2.9 boards, 1.3 assists and 0.6 steals in 32 games off the bench in 2023, when she was runner-up for Sixth Woman of the Year.

A second-round pick by Connecticut in 2021, Carrington is the fifth player in franchise history to win Most Improved Player honors: Brionna Jones (2021), Jonquel Jones (2017), Kelsey Bone (2015) and Wendy Palmer (2004).
