The reporting
Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington was ejected in the first quarter of Saturday’s 90-86 loss to the Indiana Fever after officials assessed a Flagrant 2 foul for hitting Sophie Cunningham in the head and neck on a fast-break layup. Minutes later, a post on Carrington’s Threads account read “WHITE PRIVILEGE” and tagged the Fever. Cunningham said after the game the foul was unnecessary and that she had no prior issue with Carrington. Fever guard Caitlin Clark also received her eighth technical foul, triggering a one-game suspension against New York.
Analysis & opinion
Carrington at faultMostly Right
DiJonai Carrington’s foul on Sophie Cunningham was seriously wrong, and her reaction afterward made the incident worse. Her claim about “white privilege” was improper or baseless rather than a valid explanation for the ejection or criticism.
