Fans clap back after DiJonai Carrington brands Indiana Fever supporters as “nastiest” in WNBA

On Wednesday, DiJonai Carrington and the Connecticut Sun suffered an 84-80 defeat against the Indiana Fever on the road at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. For the Fever, Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark delivered great performances. However, Carrington left the arena with a trace of bitterness, especially when she shushed a fan in the third quarter.

She expressed her bitterness on her social media account, calling out the Indiana Fever fans as the ‘nastiest’ of all in the WNBA.

“The Indiana Fever have the nastiest fans in the W. ew,” she wrote on X.

“Oh looks like y’all feelings hurt. Take the L and move on,” @Sudharshan_ak said.

“You taunted and got smoked. Don’t be a sore loser,” @Curtis_Bailey said.

“To be fair you was part of the problem with the provocation,” @tobiasnasty said.

Another fan called out Carrington, questioning her comments on a losing night.

“Now DiJonai I’m a supporter but where were these tweets at when y’all won the first 3 games? Gotta take the L on the chin,” @PlugThaZeus said.

“When you won there you had nothing to say and now that you lost you do?” @G7SportsTalk said.

DiJonai Carrington had a ready response to the comments she received on the statement. She made another post sarcastically mocking the people who were disrespectful towards her on social media.

“But I’m a racist, jealous, c**n, monkey, hatin a** b**** who needs to go back to Africa when I do it huh? plssss. Like I said, this is basketball,” she wrote on X.

DiJonai Carrington shows support for her girlfriend, NaLyssa Smith.

Smith has seen a gradual decrease in her game time over the past few weeks. She played 28 minutes against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday but in the next game against the Storm on Sunday, she played only 20 minutes.

In the next game against the Lynx, she played even less and was offered only 10 minutes on the court. However, against the Atlanta Dream, she clocked 27 minutes but was not impactful, scoring only seven points.

In the game against the Sun on Wednesday, Smith played 19 minutes and scored 10 points, contributing to her team’s victory.
