Carrington denies eye-poke, accuses author of defamation

WNBA player DiJonai Carrington accused author Christine Brennan of "defamation of character" on social media regarding a book excerpt. The excerpt, published by CNN, details a confrontation between Carrington and Brennan following a game where Carrington allegedly poked Caitlin Clark in the eye. Carrington denies the incident and the book's portrayal of her. The book, "On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports," is set to release on July 9. Carrington's social media posts suggest she disputes the accuracy of the book's account.
