Carrington's post comes a day after Tuesday's wings against Seattle Storm. Carrington was evaluated as a blatant 1 foul in the fourth quarter after Seattle's Skylar Diggins took a blow. Diggins rushed towards the basket while taking a quick break. Carrington chases her, jumps down, blocks the shot from behind, and makes Diggins' head fall to the ground.

Then Carrington was seen sitting on the bench with his eyes closed.

Carrington's latest social media post happened nearly a week in a game against Chicago Sky last Thursday when Carrington faced a referee who pulled a security guard between them, appearing to protect WNBA players.

Carrington responded to the incident in an article on Friday X, suggesting that the call to safe is "micro-aggression."

"Safety...it's crazy when I literally have a civil conversation. Note that he calls "safety" there..."

Carrington speaks out and defends the obvious criticism he has received in the past.

In early March, she and Sky player Angel Reese criticized the league's new fans on Reese's podcast "Reese".

"They're really loose in their mouths," Carrington said of her critics. "I know they think it's a troll, but it's not just a troll. People we see in real life."

Carrington also said she wasn't bothered when people said she paid too much attention to her appearance, but when people questioned why she had blonde hair, she did say she "has annoying."

"I hate when people talk about it, for example, 'Why do you have blonde hair?' "I have black eyebrows. I have black arms, black legs and hair…and I don't care. I'm still born blonde. ”

Carrington said she did not deliberately poke Clark in the eye or laugh at the incident. However, she appears to have caused controversy over Clark's black-eyed in an Instagram Live video in October.

In the video, Carrington and her girlfriend Nalyssa Smith play for Indiana fever with Clark, who is in the kitchen when Smith poked Carrington's eyes.

Carrington said, "Oh, you poke me out." Smith apologized and the two laughed. "Did you do this on purpose?" Carrington asked.

Carrington used a post in late August to get a good charm for fever fans, which read: “Indiana fever is the most annoying fan in W. ew.”

Carrington also prompted her to express criticism in politics.

During the "Unparalleled" league season in January, Carrington walked into Miami's Wayfair Arena wearing a shirt with the words "F --- Donald Trump Tour." Then, in a press conference after another game of the month, Carrington announced it was time for WNBA players to "take action" in response to the president Donald Trumppolicy.

"We see some policies already taking action, and of course, that means, as the WNBA and at the forefront of many of these sports, it's time for us to take action," Carrington said.

"When women's rights are taken away, this absolutely needs to happen. Just like now, LGBTQ rights are taken away now. They haven't happened yet, but it's definitely at work."
