WHAT HAPPENED
During a first‑half play in Chicago on Aug. 8, 2026, Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington was ejected after the referee called a Flagrant 2 foul on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Minutes later, Carrington posted the words "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media and tagged the Fever team.
According to the Associated Press, the foul occurred while Cunningham was finishing a fast‑break lay‑up; Carrington hit her in the head and neck, causing Cunningham to fall. Cunningham immediately rose, charged at Carrington and pushed her as a Sky teammate held the defender back. A review upgraded the infraction to a Flagrant 2 for windup, impact and follow‑through. In the third quarter, Fever star Caitlin Clark was assessed a technical foul after a contact with a referee; it was Clark’s eighth technical of the season.
The ejection and subsequent social‑media post have drawn attention to the dynamics of player conduct and race‑related commentary in the WNBA, a league that has highlighted issues of diversity and inclusion in recent years.
