DiJonai Carrington Draws Backlash for Hard Fouls on Valkyries Players
The Chicago Sky's DiJonai Carrington drew strong criticism from fans over her plays against the Golden State Valkyries.
Chicago Sky player Dijonai Carrington faced backlash after her hard fouls against Golden State Valkyries during a recent WNBA game. Carrington's actions drew criticism from online fans, with several posts labeling her as a "dirty player" for her aggressive play. One X post suggested she used her "signature move" to gouge an opponent's eye.
Some fans even called for her ejection from the game, just days after she was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul on Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham. Despite her recent success, Carrington had a disappointing night, finishing with three points on 1-for-9 shooting in a 20-point loss to the Valkyries. This loss dropped Chicago's season record to 12-22, placing them among the bottom teams in the league.
The team's struggles have been ongoing since their last two seasons, which they both failed to make the postseason. Carrington and the Chicago Sky will look to bounce back in their next game on Aug. 16 when they visit the Seattle Storm.
