During a WNBA game between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever, there was an incident that caught the attention of many fans. Star player Caitlin Clark was poked in the eye by DiJonai Carrington, causing her to fall to the ground in pain. After the game, Carrington was quick to dismiss any suggestions that she did it on purpose.
The incident happened during the first quarter of the teams' WNBA playoffs first-round meeting. Clark was clearly in discomfort as she clutched her face while lying on the court. Later, she was seen with a black eye, a result of the Sun's 93-69 victory over the Fever. Despite the bruising, Clark assured the media that her eye was feeling better and she is expected to play an important role in the next game.
When asked about the incident, Clark stated that it was not intentional. She also added that after watching the play, it was clear that Carrington did not mean to poke her in the eye. However, video evidence seemed to suggest otherwise, with some fans calling for an investigation into Carrington's actions.
The personal rivalry between Clark and Carrington has been a hot topic in the WNBA this season, and some fans of the Fever even believe that the eye poke was done intentionally. However, Carrington claimed that she was not even aware that she had hit Clark in the eye and would never purposely hurt an opponent.
Carrington made it clear that she is not the type of player who would intentionally harm another player. She stated that she was simply trying to make a play on the ball and may have accidentally followed through and hit Clark. She emphasized that it was never her intention to cause harm and that is not the type of player she is.
Despite their loss in Game 1, Clark remains confident that the Fever can bounce back and defeat the Sun. She stated that they have beaten the Sun before, and they know they are capable of doing it again. While acknowledging the Sun as a strong team, Clark believes that her team is not shying away from the challenge and plans to embrace it.
In conclusion, while the incident between Clark and Carrington may have caused a stir, both players have made it clear that it was not done with malicious intent. The focus now shifts to the next game, where the Fever will look to even the series and potentially eliminate their rivals.
