Dijonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith are no strangers to being apart due to basketball, but this time was different.

With the WNBA season concluded, Carrington, 26, and Smith, 24, are unable to spend time together as Smith is playing in China with Zhejiang in the WCBA for the 2024-2025 season. The couple managed to reunite after being apart 6500 miles and a 15-hour time difference, sharing some much-needed PDA.
