Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby is ejected from Saturday’s game against the Connecticut Sun after an elbow incident involving an opponent’s face. The New York Post reports Hamby is sent off and later defends herself to a fan.
Both outlets link the ejection to a foul in which Hamby’s elbow makes contact with Raegan Beers, a Sun player. The Daily Mail characterizes the action as elbowing a rival in the face, while the New York Post focuses on the fact that Hamby disputes the situation publicly. The reports agree on the core sequence: the game features contact to the opponent, officials eject Hamby, and her immediate response includes pushing back on how the foul was characterized.
