DiJonai Carrington ejected after hard foul on Sophie Cunningham Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington was ejected in the first quarter Saturday after a flagrant 2 foul on Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham. This AI dramatization shows the sequence: Cunningham went up for a layup when Carrington hit her high in the face from behind. Cunningham fell to the floor, got up, and shoved Carrington before teammates separated them. Officials reviewed the play and ruled the foul “unnecessary” and “excessive.” Carrington looked stunned as she left the game. The WNBA needs to do a better job protecting its players from these kinds of hard, unnecessary fouls. Stars shouldn’t have to absorb contact like this and then fight through the aftermath.
