As the WNBA dives into training camp, a steady stream of injury updates — some concerning, some promising — continues to surface ahead of the league’s [May 8th tipoff](https://justwomenssports.com/reads/wnba-drops-2026-schedule-amid-ongoing-cba-negotiations/).

According to _The Athletic_, recent Chicago signing [DiJonai Carrington](https://justwomensports.com/reads/wnba-free-agency-2026-chicago-sky-skylar-diggins-angel-reese-trade/) will soon join the Sky after undergoing surgery to remove hardware from a previous left foot injury.

"INJURY UPDATE: DiJonai Carrington had a minor procedure to remove hardware from her left foot, sources tell me," writer [Annie Constabile tweeted](https://x.com/AnnieCostabile/status/2046249882000724382) on Monday. "The recent surgery was an expected follow up to one this offseason addressing a season-ending left foot injury she suffered with the Lynx in 2025."

Seattle Storm center Ezi Magbegor will miss opening day after injuring her foot while representing Australia at March’s FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.

Lastly, Las Vegas ruled Dana Evans out indefinitely as the Aces guard recovers from a leg injury that sidelined her from the [2026 Unrivaled postseason](https://justwomenssports.com/reads/championship-mvp-breanna-stewart-lifts-mist-bc-to-2026-unrivaled-title/).

## WNBA Players Target Healthy Returns After 2025 Injury Reports

It’s not all bad news, however, as other key WNBA players target healthy returns after missing significant time in 2025.

Washington expects 2025 draft pick Georgia Amoore to be on the floor for next month’s opener, as the Mystics guard kickstarts a delayed rookie campaign following last year’s [preseason ACL tear](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/mystics-fans-love-promising-georgia-000521658.html).

Indiana superstar [Caitlin Clark](https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/indiana-fever-s-caitlin-clark-announces-injury-update-ahead-of-wnba-season/ar-AA21fDb0?cvid=69e70dd6e1144c4e9e15744e620f4195&ocid=tweet) reports that she’s participating in Fever training pain-free after sitting out much of last season — including the playoffs — with a lingering groin issue.
