During the Indiana Fever’s game against the Chicago Sky, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is hit by DiJonai Carrington in the neck/head area on a fast-break attempt, and the foul is upgraded after review. The official ruling becomes a Flagrant 2, and Carrington is ejected.
Following the incident, Sydney Colson—described by one outlet as Cunningham’s former teammate—posts a cryptic message on social media referencing the play. One report highlights the wording of Colson’s post and frames it as an apparent endorsement of the interpretation of a “trans foul,” while another focuses primarily on the on-court sequence, the review process, and the resulting penalties.
Across coverage, outlets agree on the key timeline: the heavy contact occurs late in the first quarter, officials review the play, the foul is upgraded to Flagrant 2, and the offender is automatically ejected. The main differences are the emphasis placed on the social-media reaction versus the technical details of the foul and enforcement.
