Carter confidently stated, “We're getting another 'ship. For sure. I'm calling it.” Her move to Sichuan follows a successful stint with Al Ula Club in Saudi Arabia, where she averaged 29.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists last year, including a remarkable game against Korea's Busan BNK Sum where she recorded 45 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Reflecting on her journey, Carter noted the excitement of playing internationally, stating, “I'm happy to be able to travel the world, and just continue to play.” During the inaugural matchup for Sichuan in WBL Asia, she made an immediate impact by scoring the first five points of the game and finishing with 22 points, leading her team to a 92-70 victory over Cathay Life at the Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium.
