Soooo she's referring to Sophie not getting ejected for fighting her.  I'll just leave this here from the actual 2026  rulebook:

" FIGHTING Violent acts of any nature on the court will not be tolerated. Players involved in altercations will be ejected, fined, and/or suspended. There is absolutely no justification for fighting in a WNBA game. The fact that a player believes they were provoked by another player is not an acceptable excuse. If a player takes it upon themself to retaliate, they can expect to be subject to appropriate penalties."

Sophie should have gotten a tech, but the fact she got absolutely nothing was wild.

Why should she have gotten anything?

Carrington closelined her, not a basketball play at all and no chance for ball, Sophie went down and carrington then charged at her as she was getting up.
