Las Vegas Aces guard DiJonai Carrington is ejected after a foul on Seattle Storm forward Sophie Cunningham that officials upgrade to a flagrant call. Cunningham is struck in the face and falls to the floor during the incident.
Following the ejection, Carrington comments that “white privilege” influenced how the play is judged and handled, according to one report. Coverage also describes the foul being elevated to a flagrant 2, which leads to her removal from the game. The two outlets focus on different parts of the same sequence: one emphasizes Carrington’s explanation afterward, while the other details what Cunningham experiences immediately after the contact. In both accounts, the core facts remain that Carrington’s arm makes contact with Cunningham’s head and the officials impose a severe penalty.
The reports agree on the escalation of the foul and the ejection, but differ in emphasis between Carrington’s remarks and the moment-by-moment description of Cunningham’s injury or fall.
