When Caitlin Clark was still adjusting to the league, there were two players who didn’t give her an inch. One was Chennedy Carter, who was called for a flagrant foul, and the other was DiJonai Carrington. It was during the June 10th game against the Connecticut Sun when Clark was fouled by the 26-year-old guard. In response, Carrington mocked her. They even had an amazing sequence in their next matchup. Since then, it’s been speculated that the two are not on good terms. But that’s not what Carrington’s old tweets suggest!

The physicality the Sun Guard displayed toward Clark kind of seems justified now. For Carrington, Clark’s performances in college were a hint of her upcoming domination. Earlier in April, Carrington took to X and predicted, “Caitlin might lead the assists this year.” As expected, the tweet garnered massive attention, but the standout remains DiJonai’s teammate, Alyssa Thomas.

Thomas commented, “Don’t play with me, Nai.” It’s ironic how things have worked out since then. Clark came into the league, struggled to adjust but now that she has, she’s dominating on the court. And Carrington might be feeling like Nostradamus as her prediction has come true, leaving her teammate reeling.

Despite Thomas’s 7.7 assists per game, she’s not even close to Clark’s league-leading average of 8.5 assists per contest. With a handful of games remaining, it seems the Assist Leader tag is in the Indiana Fever rookie’s bag. However, this wasn’t the first time Carrington had made a remark about Clark.

Back in March 2023, Carrington wrote, “Caitlin better win POTY or it’s rigged. There, I said it,” on X. She praised Clark for her impressive NCAA play, signifying that she had nothing against her before. But, as it turned out, they didn’t end up on the best of terms.

DiJonai Carrington’s prediction is a mere reflection of Caitlin Clark’s records

For Carrington, Clark was more of a playmaker. Little did she know about the force the Iowa Hawkeyes alumna would become in just a few months. Ever since the 22-year-old returned from the month-long Olympics break, she’s been more dominant than before. Now, shattering records has become a norm in every game.

From assists to three-point shooting, what’s left for her? Even during her last encounter with the Atlanta Dream, she soared to new heights, extending her three-point record to 111. In the process, she also became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 300 assists in a single season. But this isn’t the end!

She also hit her 14th double-double of the season while leading her team to a 104-100 win in overtime. This comeback victory helped her claim the franchise record for double-doubles. Apart from this, along with Aliyah Boston, she’s also on the road to breaking Candace Parker and Nneka Ogwumike’s record for the most games by a duo where both players record a 20-point double-double. As of now, they’re only two games away from the record. Wouldn’t be surprising if they break it this season itself.
