Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington appeared to mock Caitlin Clark for allegedly embellishing a foul call in the second quarter of her matchup against the Indiana Fever.
The Connecticut Sun, one of the WNBA's best teams at 9-1, had little trouble dealing with Caitlin Clark and the 3-9 Indiana Fever during the first half at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Sun took a commanding 55-35 lead into halftime, but the most notable moment during the first half came when Sun guard DiJonai Carrington fouled Clark shortly after Clark received an inbound pass from teammate Kristy Wallace.
Clark, who came off a screen, caught the pass and started towards the basket. Carrington was late getting to Clark thanks to the screen by Aliyah Boston, and she bumped Clark. But Carrington didn't like the call and thought that Clark exaggerated the foul. After the whistle, Carrington started mocking Clark. Boos came from the crowd while Carrington made the gesture. No surprise, there's a very large contingent of the crowd that's inside Mohegan Sun Arena to see Clark.
Clark was coming off the second 30-point game of her WNBA career, scoring 30 points in an 85-83 win over the Washington Mystics on Friday. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
