Today, we’re diving into some serious WNBA drama! It looks like DJ Carrington is back in the headlines after getting hit with some instant karma for that infamous eye poke on Caitlyn Clark. And trust me, this story is wild. WNBA views are dropping now that Clark is out of the playoffs, and the action is heating up in Minnesota. Let’s get into it.
So, as we all know, the WNBA playoffs are in full swing, but our girl Caitlyn Clark is at home relaxing after her Indiana Fever got eliminated by the Connecticut Sun last week. Now, the Sun moved on to face the Minnesota Lynx, and let me tell you, Kayla McBride came in ready for all the smoke with DJ Carrington. No games were being played.
Just last week, DJ Carrington made national headlines for poking Caitlyn Clark in the eye, and we’re still talking about it today. But guess what? Karma came knocking. The drama between the number 21s on both teams was at an all-time high in what was expected to be a heated matchup. Minnesota needed a strong performance after a tough loss, and they did not disappoint.
But the real action? It was between DJ Carrington and Kayla McBride. Carrington tried to rally her team by slicing through the Lynx defense and going for a shot, but McBride wasn’t having it. She swooped in, snatched the ball right out of Carrington’s hands, and sent her crashing to the floor. Carrington looked stunned—she knew she had messed up.
Now, Carrington did speak to reporters after the game, and here’s what she had to say. So yeah, Carrington was definitely humbled after that showdown. Honestly, it was good to see her get some of that energy sent right back her way after all the drama with Caitlyn Clark.
Now, moving on to another story—the WNBA playoffs are ongoing, but things aren’t looking great for the league’s viewership. Ever since Caitlyn Clark and the Fever were eliminated, the numbers have dropped. It’s being reported that the first game between the Aces and Liberty only managed to pull in half the viewers that Clark’s first playoff game got.
That’s right. Clark drew 1.84 million viewers in her first game and 2.5 million in her second, while the Aces-Liberty game only pulled in 929,000. That’s a 50% drop! It’s crazy, but Clark really was the driving force behind those high viewership numbers. She had everyone talking—from fans to commentators—and now that she’s out, the WNBA is feeling the impact.
