Fever Coach Defends DiJonai Carrington After Ejection

DiJonai Carrington was ejected from a game after committing a flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham, prompting support from Fever head coach Stephanie White. The incident occurred late in the second quarter during Indiana's victory over the Sky.

White, who previously coached Carrington, acknowledged the foul was hard but emphasized that it was not intentional. The foul led to a confrontation between the players, which was quickly diffused. Following her ejection, Carrington made a post referencing 'WHITE PRIVILEGE' on social media.

Cunningham, who downplayed the incident and stated it was not racially motivated, expressed no animosity towards Carrington. The Fever improved to a 20-12 record with this win, positioning them fourth in the WNBA standings ahead of their upcoming game against the Liberty.
