  "account": "In a recent Chicago Sky game against the Indiana Fever, wing DiJonai Carrington began strongly, going 3 of 3 from the field with an and-1 and a three-pointer. However, her performance took a turn when she committed a flagrant 2 foul on Fever guard Sophie Cunningham late in the first quarter. Carrington made contact with Cunningham's face while both players were going up for a layup. Despite the basket counting, Cunningham drew a free throw after the foul was upgraded due to review. Carrington's aggressive play proved costly as Cunningham had to be physically restrained.",
  "summary": "Carrington's strong start to Saturday's showdown came to an abrupt end when she fouled Cunningham hard on the break.",
