Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington let Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark know that she didn’t approve of her selling a foul call during Monday night’s matchup.
After Clark was awarded a foul call on an inbound pass in the second quarter, Carrington let the officials and the crowd know that she thought there might have been some acting going on during the play.
Carrington is in her fifth WNBA season, so she’s likely gotten used to seeing flopping just about every game, but she wanted to let the rookie know she spotted it on that particular play.
Whether Clark actually sold the call is up for interpretation, but at least the officials seemed to think it warranted a foul.
While Clark was given the foul, Carrington and the Sun got the last laugh as they won the game 89-72 behind her 22 points. The win brought Connecticut to 10-1 on the season as it has come out of the gate scorching hot.
Things have started much different for the Fever as they sit at 3-10. Clark is still finding her footing in the WNBA but has had a solid rookie year thus far, averaging 16.8 points, 6.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game.
