WNBA Controversy Erupts After Fever-Sky Game, Plus New Allegations in Clippers-Kawhi Cap Circumvention Probe

Joy Taylor recaps a physical Fever-Sky game in Chicago where Indiana won 90–86, Caitlin Clark’s eighth technical for contact with a referee was rescinded to avoid suspension, and Sky player Dijonai Carrington was ejected after her flagrant on Sophie Cunningham was upgraded to a flagrant two, later posting “White privilege” and tagging the Fever. Taylor discusses how Cunningham’s recent visibility—viral moments, UFC ring girl work, and comments about trans athletes—has fueled politicized debate, prompting WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert to call for continued conversations, while Taylor argues the league should refocus on basketball and notes there are no trans women in the WNBA. She then details ongoing NBA investigations into alleged Clippers cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard, including new reporting of an undisclosed sponsorship tied to Intuit Dome’s video board company Daktronics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
