WNBA player DiJonai Carrington's fan complaint ruled unfounded after game incident
During a Sky-Valkyries versus Storm game, DiJonai Carrington was assessed a technical foul after an on-court altercation and later complained about a nearby fan, a claim officials later found to be unfounded.
DiJonai Carrington was assessed a technical foul in the fourth quarter of the Sky-Valkyries’ game against the Storm after she struck two opponents on the court and finished with one made field goal on nine attempts. During the same period, Carrington approached officials, including referee Sarah Williams, to report a fan seated near the court. Arena security escorted the fan from his seat, but after officials reviewed the complaint they determined it was unfounded and allowed the fan to return.
A Valkyries representative told ClutchPoints that the fan was cooperative after the complaint was dismissed. The broadcast on USA Network noted a brief stoppage as Chicago security and arena staff intervened following Carrington’s request.
The incident has drawn attention to Carrington’s on-court conduct, but league officials have not released further comment on the matter.
