Connecticut Sun star DiJonai Carrington had a strong response to one fan trying to mock her. The guard faced the New York Liberty today at Mohegan Sun Arena. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get the win, but Carrington had some sort of revenge when a fan asked her if she watched Indiana Fever highlights, implying she was paying more attention to Caitlin Clark.
First, she sent a cryptic message on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“But I’m a racist, jealous, coon, monkey, hatin a** b**** who needs to go back to Africa when I do it huh?😂😂😂😂😂 plssss. Like I said, this is basketball,” Carrington wrote.One fan tried to shed light on this situation, sharing a video of Clark during the Mystics game.
Another fan asked if Carrington was watching the Fever game right after hers, which sparked a big response from the Most Improved Player of the Year candidate.
“1. Close!!! BUT no :/ my gf is on the fever😆 so I was trying to catch the rest of her game.”
2. This has nothing to do w/ Caitlin. This has to do w/ how nasty yall fAnS are to call me ridiculous things for somethin that is literally jus mfers hoopin”
3. I was still in my uniform🤭,” she tweeted.
DiJonai Carrington and Caitlin Clark have been linked with each other since last month when they clashed on the court, sparking a conversation about black players hating the Indiana Fever guard. It’s been a month since that moment and fans thought Carrington was trying to stir the pot again.
