Dallas Wings’ Dijonai Carrington Calls Out Referee For Evading Her Pleas to Explain Their Decisions
@Source: yardbarker.com
‘Microaggression’ or not, referee Roy Gulbeyan could undoubtedly have taken a more pacifist route to the whole thing. Talking to players and explaining their decisions is a protocol that referees have explicitly been instructed to follow. Doing this sets a good barometer between the two parties and allows players to calibrate their level of physicality.
The Dallas Wings can take revenge today
Paige Bueckers is ruled out of the return fixture between the two mid-west teams today, being played in Dallas. The Wings will have to rely on Kaila Charles to be one of their starting guards on their already undersized lineup. They usually start three guards – Ogunbowale, Bueckers and Carrington – and rely heavily on a switch-heavy defensive scheme.
However, Ogunbowale seems to have shaken off her early-season rust. After entering the previous game shooting a dastardly 30% from the floor, the 2024 Olympics team snub put the Wings’ perimeter defense to the sword. She recorded 37 points on the night. She is now second only to Diana Taurasi for the most career 35-point games with at least five made 3-pointers. The 28-year-old shot 6-12 from deep in the game.
Ogunbowale previously tied Diana Taurasi as the fastest player to reach 500 career WNBA 3-pointers. She reached this landmark in 198 games while playing against the Minnesota Lynx earlier this season. Given that Chicago has an old backcourt with slower foot speed, she should have another field day playing them. Both rebuilding teams are looking to find their best lineups and combinations through the still-early stages of the 2025 WNBA season.
