The Minnesota Lynx are back on track after a minor hiccup. While Cheryl Reeve blasted the Lynx after a 93-79 loss to the Storm, the team seems to have taken a cue from their mistakes. Squaring off against the Dallas Wings, the Lynx played like a champion once again. Notching up a dominant victory, the team is now well on course towards their title aspirations. However, despite the win, a commentator’s joke went viral after DiJonai Carrington appeared extremely annoyed.
Commentators make the game come to life. With their unique take on the sport, things get interesting for the fans and the athletes alike. However, oftentimes, things get stretched a bit too far. And that is exactly what happened with Carrington in Lynx’s recent game.
DiJonai Carrington Does Not Like Commentator Jokes About Her Contact Lens
Carrington had a short stint in Minnesota’s game against Dallas. However, with almost eight minutes left in the second quarter, officials stopped the game. Later, reports revealed that the Lynx’s guard had lost her contact lenses. Thankfully, immediately after, Wings’ guard Grace Berger found it and returned it to Carrington as the game resumed. Well, that’s quite an uneventful story.
But the Lynx play-by-play announcer decided to have some fun with the incident. Looking at the entire contact lens fiasco, the announcer seemed to wonder if Carrington had properly put her lenses back. Moments later, the Lynx’s guard missed Jessica Shepard cutting in. And this prompted the announcer to conclude that the lenses are surely not in place.
Such comments annoyed Carrington. Taking to her X, formerly known as Twitter account, the 27-year-old wrote, “Home announcers being shady is crazy work, can’t lie. Anyways, pray for me, y’all.”

DiJonai Carrington Exposes Shocking Hate Comments From A Fan
Fans are passionate about the sport, and it is common for them to criticize a player when they do not like their performance. However, when the thin line of decency gets blurred, criticism turns into harmful and abusive comments. And that is exactly what Carrington faced recently.
Taking to her social media, the 27-year-old star made a collage of several illicit comments sent to her by a fan. Upon closer inspection, the messages were spotted to be sent from an account named ‘diego.sal44’. The comments were extremely harsh and outright degrading for Carrington. However, while posting the same, the Lynx’s star had a sarcastic caption as she labeled them ‘Fan Mails’ alongside a heart emoji. Thus, with several issues bothering her, it will be pretty important for the 27-year-old to keep her focus intact and concentrate on the playoffs.
