DiJonai Carrington hits two players across the face, receives technical foul after Sophie Cunningham drama

Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington swears that she isn't a dirty player, but her actions on the court aren't exactly helping that narrative.

Carrington made major headlines last week by committing a very hard foul on Sophie Cunningham during a layup attempt that left the Indiana Fever star with a bloody mouth.

Carrington was ejected from the contest after the foul was determined to be a Flagrant 2, and shortly after being tossed from the contest, posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on her Instagram Threads account, insinuating skin color played a role in the decision.

Fast-forward just four days after the foul and controversy involving Cunningham, and Carrington was back on the floor making contact with players' faces.

CLUELESS WNBA ATTACKS 'BAD-FAITH' FANS WHO DON'T WANT BIOLOGICAL MEN RUINING WOMEN'S SPORTS During Chicago's 91-71 loss to the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday, Carrington was guarding Cecilia Zandalasini on the perimeter, and while swiping at the ball, caught the Golden State forward in the eye.

The hand movement from Carrington on the play was odd.

While she was clearly using her right hand to attack the ball, her left hand was in a position where it was physically impossible for her to reach the ball unless it went through Zandalasini's face.

Players being poked in the eye or catching a finger across the face while being closely defended is a typical play in basketball, but the same can't be said for Carrington's second above-the-neck hit against Golden State.

As Tiffany Hayes made a mid-air move on a layup attempt, Carrington jumped with her and threw her arm down, failing to hit the basketball, and instead caught the Valkyries' guard in the mouth.

Neither of Carrington's fouls to the face against Golden State resulted in flagrant or technical fouls, but she did pick up what was her second technical of the season for arguing with a referee during the third quarter.

With Carrington now hitting three separate players in the face in just a four-day stretch, it's worth revisiting the message she posted on X during the 2025 season about not being a dirty player.

"Yall fAnS swear i’m such a dirty player.

I’m SO over this narrative bc if u really know bball, u know I jus play hard asf & never give up on a play," Carrington wrote in June 2025.

"&yup, we challenged the last couple flagrants & got em rescinded bc I’m ALWAYS tryna make a play on the ball nun more, nun less." Carrington did not receive any form of repercussions for her Flagrant 2 foul on Cunningham or for posting "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media.
