Caitlin Clark Fans STUNNED as DiJonai Carrington LIES About Brutal Eye Poke Incident (UNBELIEVABLE)!
In Game 1 of the first-round playoff series between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun, Sun guard DiJonai Carrington tried to swipe at the ball and poked Clark in the eye. The incident quickly set social media ablaze, with some accusing Carrington of doing it intentionally.
The next day, both players confirmed it wasn’t an intentional act. During Carrington’s media availability, however, USA Today reporter Christine Brennan asked her if she meant to hit Clark in the eye. Although Carrington denied it, Brennan followed up that question by asking if she and Sun teammate Marina Mabrey later laughed about the incident. The broadcast showed the two smiling about something later in the game.
“No,” Carrington said. “I just told you I didn’t even know I hit her, so I can’t laugh about something I didn’t know happened.”
