Jason Whitlock wants DiJonai Carrington banned from the WNBA after Sophie Cunningham altercation
Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington is generating a lot of attention after getting ejected for a hard foul on Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham. The Fever’s 90-86 win over the Sky on Saturday evening was overshadowed by two on-court moments.
Veteran sports analyst Jason Whitlock called for Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington to be banned from the WNBA following her hard foul on Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham during a recent game. The foul, which occurred in the first quarter, resulted in Carrington’s ejection and was labeled as a Flagrant 2. Cunningham, who believes the foul was intentional, criticized Carrington’s actions on social media from the locker room after the incident.
White, the Fever’s coach, defended Carrington’s competitive style, stating that Carrington doesn’t look for easy layups and that it’s not an intentional foul. The response from fans and analysts, like Whitlock, may prompt the WNBA to reevaluate their disciplinary measures in similar cases.
