Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington returned to the court on Monday night after she was ejected from Saturday's game against the Indiana Fever for a hard foul on Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Even though that return came on the road, she still received quite a warm reception from the fans in attendance.
As usual, Carrington began Monday night's game on the bench. But when she checked into the game early in the first quarter, she was showered with cheers from the opposing fans following the incident with Cunningham and her subsequent ejection.
The play in question occurred during the first quarter of Saturday night's game when Cunningham went up for what appeared to be an open layup, and Carrington struck her in the head from behind, sending her slamming into the ground.
After a review, Carrington was issued a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected from the contest.
"Clearly, I think it was like, unnecessary. I've never really spoken to her and have no beef with her, but I guess she has some pent-up stuff. So get your [expletive] off. That's fine. I can take it." Cunningham said after the game via Kareem Copeland.
