Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington said the flagrant foul on Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham was not intentional and called for consistent officiating across the league, regardless of jersey, race, or score, after the Sky's 97-88 loss to Seattle.
DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham, after which she posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on social media; Cunningham and Fever coach Stephanie White argued the foul wasn’t intentional, and the officials upgraded it to Flagrant 2. Indiana won 90-86. The night also featured Caitlin Clark’s technical foul and one-game suspension, which she said was inadvertent; the article notes Cunningham’s past political comments on transgender participation in sports, a topic the WNBA has discussed and will continue to address.
Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington publicly accused her ex-girlfriend NaLyssa Smith of cheating with multiple players around the league in a Threads post, a claim that contrasts with their Baylor-era relationship and Smith’s current team, the Las Vegas Aces. Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye are named among the alleged players, though Smith, Kelly, and Nye have not publicly responded. The allegations come as Carrington and Smith previously remained amicable, with a breakup described as a natural drift. Carrington is set to face Smith and Kelly on Aug. 1 when the Sky host the Aces, and the teams are scheduled to meet again Sept. 19 with Nye and the Dream also in the mix. OutKick’s Alejandro Avila reports on the developing story.
