Summary
Golden State's 91-71 win over Chicago featured two more above-the-neck contacts by DiJonai Carrington, who caught Cecilia Zandalasini in the eye and Tiffany Hayes in the mouth.
Neither play was ruled flagrant, but Carrington still received her second technical foul of the season for arguing with a referee in the third quarter.
The incidents came four days after Carrington was ejected for a Flagrant 2 on Indiana's Sophie Cunningham that left Cunningham with a bloody mouth.
That earlier foul sparked added controversy when Carrington posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" after the ejection, though she later said she was not claiming race explained the foul call.
With three players hit in the face in a four-day span and no league discipline announced, scrutiny of Carrington's claim that she is not a dirty player has intensified.
