Sky guard Carrington says her flagrant foul on Cunningham was not intentional and calls for consistent officiating

Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington said the flagrant foul she committed against Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was unintentional. After the game, she told reporters, "It was unfortunate that I made contact with her in the way that I did, but it was never intentional. I’m always going to play hard, but I never intend to hurt anybody, regardless of the outside noise or whatever the situation may be." Carrington added that the league should enforce consistent rules for both fouls and subsequent reactions, stating, "Whether it’s the foul that I commit, whether it’s the reaction or retaliation, I would just love for it to be consistent across the board, regardless of the name on your jersey or your skin color or the score of the game, whatever. I don’t think we’re there yet. That’s something I’ve talked to the league about, as well. I think that will eliminate a lot of frustrations we all have." The incident, which resulted in Cunningham’s ejection and a social-media post from Carrington referencing "white privilege," has sparked debate about officiating standards in the WNBA.
