The incident occurred during Saturday's game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever. Carrington was called for a Flagrant 2 foul while defending against Cunningham, leading to her immediate ejection from the contest.

Minutes after being ejected, Carrington took to social media and posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” with the Indiana Fever’s account tagged in the post.
