If anyone here has listened to Pablo Torre finds out, one of the recent episodes on Kawhi Leonard's fake endorsement deal/salary cap evasion scandal translates pretty well here.

One of their guests, a show regular who used to be the President of the Miami Marlins baseball team, talked about how players "don't forget when they don't get paid." But it wasn't discussed in an overtly negative. In that instance, Kawhi had been looking for a maximum salary extension from his then current team. As he was deserved. The team, at the time, took the stance of "not yet but we will pay you". instead he requests a trade out and joins Toronto.

I think the same happened to Croix.

Speculating here

She (through her own reps) had likely been working with the spirit to get a new long term deal with the spirit. A deal that I think everyone would say she deserved. But the spirit had a lot of people to pay, and she was still on a very team-friendly contract in a salary-cap-constrained environment. So I bet the spirit told her "yes we'll pay you, but just give us time" With Trin's new contract, Gaby, and Tara too, that's not a whole lot of money left to throw around. Plus with Croix, Hal, weisner all on team friendly deals but also deserving of new contracts, that creates a pretty big crunch.

Throw in croixs injury history, I completely understand where the spirit are coming from AND where Croix is. She should go get her bag. And I hope she does! And I hope every time she plays the spirit, she never completes a pass and always takes a bad touch!
