Carrington Disputes 'Intentional' Claim Over Flagrant Foul
Carrington was ejected after a replay review upgraded the foul to Flagrant 2, and Seattle fans greeted her return with loud applause.
- On Saturday, Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington received a Flagrant 2 foul and was ejected from the game against Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham at the United Center after making contact with Cunningham's head during a layup.
- Minutes after her ejection, Carrington posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media, tagging the Fever organization; the message drew sharp criticism, though she later suggested critics misread her intent regarding the foul.
- Cunningham said the foul was "absolutely" intentional, suggesting Carrington had "some pent up stuff," while Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier warned his office would pursue assault charges if similar conduct occurred in Florida.
- Carrington returned to the court on Monday night in Seattle, receiving applause from opposing fans when she checked into the game, maintaining the play was not intentional.
- The WNBA has not indicated it is considering discipline beyond the ejection, even as Saturday's incident adds to a documented pattern of hard-contact plays involving Carrington, including a previous foul on Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins.
