Both Caitlin Clark and DiJonai Carrington shut down the idea that the poke that left Clark with a black eye in their Game 1 playoff matchup was intentional.

Carrington poked the Indiana Fever star in the eye in the first quarter of the Connecticut Sun’s 93-69 win in Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series on Sunday. Though Clark finished the game without any issue, it left her with a bit of a black eye.
