DiJonai Carrington leads Connecticut Sun to win over Los Angeles Sparks after calling out WNBA #wnba

DiJonai Carrington led the way for the Connecticut Sun in its win against the Los Angeles Sparks, then called out the WNBA for not doing enough to promote Tuesday’s historic game at TD Garden in Boston.

This was the first-ever WNBA game to be staged at the famous Garden, host to countless showdowns between NBA rivals the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, and 19,156 tickets were sold for the occasion.

The total represented the third-highest attendance at a WNBA game this season and the most tickets sold for a Sun game in franchise history.

“I feel like Connecticut as a franchise is historically disrespected,” Carrington, who scored 19 points in the 69-61 win over the Sparks, told reporters. “Sometimes, if you want something, you’ve got to go out there and do it for yourself. That’s what I did for us.
