In the opening quarter, Carrington collided with Clark while attempting to intercept a ball from Clark. In slow motion video, Carrington was seen twisting her hand and pointing her nails at Clark’s face as she descended from the block attempt. During the play, no fouls were called.
Carrington told reporters on Tuesday that he had not tried to purposely cause Clark a black eye.
Carrington remarked, “I don’t even know why I would intend to hit anybody in the eye.” “I can’t even begin to understand that. However, I didn’t. To be honest, I had no idea I had hit her. I was attempting to perform.
It is, therefore, evidently never purposeful. That isn’t even close to the kind of player I am.
In the past, Carrington has irritated both Clark and her supporters. After teammate Kristy Wallace’s inbound pass to Clark during a June game, Carrington fouled Clark. Clark received the pass and moved in the direction of the hoop. Aliyah Boston’s screen caused Carrington to be late reaching Clark, and as a result, she bumped into him.
