Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington is at the center of another controversy.
Over the weekend, Carrington was ejected from Sunday’s game vs the Fever after delivering a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham.
After the game, Carrington went on to post “white privilege” on social media, causing an uproar.
On Wednesday, Carrington apparently had an issue with a fan sitting courtside and had him escorted out by security.
“So, there is a stoppage right now as Chicago’s team security has stepped out along with arena security representatives.”
“Carrington went over to one of the officials, as you see Sarah Williams there, to say something.”
“I don’t know what was or wasn’t said. I will say respect for the players is something, especially right now, that is being taken very seriously from everybody around the league, as it should be,” the other commentator added.
DiJonai Carrington’s complaint with an official leads to a Golden State Valkyries fan being removed for the rest of the Sky-Valkyries game.

The fan was eventually allowed back in his seat after security deemed Carrington’s complaint to be “unfounded.”
At 8:47 in the GSV-Sky 4th QTR, DiJonai Carrington alerted officials of a fan who was escorted from his seat but later allowed return, a GSV team official told me: “The fan was cooperative after a complaint that was unfounded.”

The Chicago Sky did not give a reason as to why the fan had been escorted out by security.
