Sun's DiJonai Carrington fires back at claim she targeted Caitlin Clark with foul
Nick Wright breaks down how the impact of Caitlin Clark's 2024 Summer Olympics snub from Team USA is a more complicated situation beyond the game of basketball.
Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington fired back at a fan who claimed the player targeted Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark during their matchup on Monday night.
Clark was driving to the basket early in the game and drew a foul from Carrington. The Sun player then appeared to mock Clark in a way to claim that the former Iowa standout embellished a bit. According to OutKick, Carrington received boos from the home crowd.

One person made the claim on X and said, "if races were reversed, Carrington would’ve been ejected." However, Carrington was not having it.
"BFFR, Paul," she wrote with a few cry-laughing emojis.
BFFR is the acronym for "be f---ing for real."
