Overview
- Carrington was ejected for a flagrant‑2 clothesline that struck Sophie Cunningham on a layup, a call that produced video replays and wide condemnation of the hit.
- Minutes after the ejection she posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on Threads tagging the Indiana Fever, a message she later said was misunderstood that intensified public scrutiny.
- Fever coach Stephanie White initially defended aspects of Carrington’s play, then said she did not see the foul live, and was booed by home fans while retaining reported locker‑room support.
- In a later game for the Chicago Sky Carrington made two additional above‑shoulder contacts, received a technical foul for arguing with an official, and briefly prompted a courtside fan to be escorted out before officials returned him to his seat.
- The WNBA has not publicly disciplined Carrington or commented on the social‑media post, and observers say any league action will be judged against Carrington’s prior high‑contact incidents and existing flagrant‑review precedent.
