She also claimed the Guard of the Year award, a testament to her all-around talent and impact on the court.
Finishing the season with an impressive stat line of 32 points per game (PPG), three steals per game and an average of 31 minutes per game, Carter has become a dominant force on the court.
Her all-around game, which also includes strong defense and playmaking, has made her one of the most feared players in the WCBA.
The news was shared by a fan page named Chennedy Report on X. Carter's move to China comes after a challenging stint in the WNBA, where her career was marked by ups and downs.

In 2021, she was suspended by the Atlanta Dream for "conduct detrimental to the team" following a heated argument. This led to her trade to the Los Angeles Sparks, but she faced similar issues, eventually being waived by the team.

The Sky signed Carter for the 2024 season, under head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. One of the most controversial moments of Carter's WNBA career occurred during a game between the Sky and the Indiana Fever.
After scoring, Carter delivered a hard shoulder check to Caitlin Clark, sending her to the floor. The incident led to a flagrant foul being called on Carter.
The Sky, under new management, opted not to extend a qualifying offer to Carter, citing the need for changes in team chemistry.

Recently, Carter defended her actions, explaining that it was a competitive play and not a personal attack. A user on X shared a clip of her statement.
Carter's time in China, however, has given her a fresh opportunity to prove herself on the international stage.
Her fate in the WCBA stands in sharp contrast to the struggles she faced in the US, offering her a new chapter to rewrite her career.

Caitlin Clark will miss 5th game with quad strain but could soon start ‘ramping back up'
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark will sit out a fifth consecutive game with a quadriceps strain when Indiana visits Atlanta on Tuesday, shifting the focus to whether the Fever star will return against the WNBA champion New York Liberty. Indiana coach Stephanie White stopped short Monday of saying Clark had been cleared for basketball activities, saying the club was ready for the reigning Rookie of the Year to start 'ramping back up.' The Fever initially said Clark would miss at least two weeks , and it has been 16 days since Clark was injured in a 90-88 loss to the Liberty . She finished the game, saying later adrenaline likely allowed her to play with the strain. Clark told reporters last week she was targeting a Tuesday return, but said she wouldn't rush it. White reiterated the patience part Monday. The rematch with the Liberty isn't until Saturday at home, which should give Clark some decent practice time. 'We're going to be smart, and we're going to be cautious and we're going to play the long game and work her back in very intentionally,' White said. Clark is averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists and six rebounds in four games this season. This is the first time in her college or pro career that she's missed games. She averaged 19.2 points and a WNBA-leading 8.4 assists as a rookie. The Fever are also without guard Sophie Cunningham, who has been limited to four games by ankle injury. White ruled out Cunningham against the Dream. ___ AP WNBA:
