[Saba Sports News] Did DiJonai Carrington intentionally poke Caitlin Clark in the eye during Sunday’s playoff game? That’s what some are wondering.
Carrington’s Connecticut Sun defeated Clark’s Indiana Fever 93-69 in Game 1 of their WNBA first-round series at Mohegan Sun Arena.
In the first quarter, Carrington poked Clark in the eye, but no foul was called. The question remains whether it was intentional. A second video shows Carrington wasn’t looking at Clark when the incident occurred, suggesting it was likely unintentional.
The uproar surrounding the play is fueled by Clark’s popularity, but there seems to be no evidence of malicious intent.
