DiJonai Carrington and Caitlin Clark
The WNBA playoffs have sparked controversy due to an incident involving Connecticut Sun’s DiJonai Carrington and Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark. A recently surfaced video shows Carrington allegedly poking Clark in the eye during their playoff game, stirring outrage among fans and raising concerns about player safety and officiating.
The incident occurred just 90 seconds into the game when Carrington struck Clark in the eye, leaving her with a visible black eye by halftime. Many fans were frustrated that the referees did not call a foul, leading to widespread criticism of their handling of the situation.
A slow-motion clip of the incident shared on X (formerly Twitter) has fueled intense reactions, particularly from Fever and Caitlin Clark supporters. One fan commented, “Definitely intentional. She should be removed,” reflecting the strong feelings around the event.
Another commented, “It’s intentional. How much validation does one need.”
