The Connecticut Sun’s DiJonai Carrington arrived with her dog ahead of their Game 2 match against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday. The eye-catching pup was carried by the 2024 Most Improved Player on her way to the game. The WNBA supporters quickly made Carrington’s dog, Mr. Three, the center of attention.
The WNBA posted a video of Carrington coming into the arena with her dog on X. When asked why her dog was named Three, Carrington shared that because her other dog was already named with a different number, Seven.

“Does she rub her dog with those nails?” another fan said.
“Dog probably loves how good she is at scratching 👀,” a fan joked.
Another fan was puzzled by Mr. Three’s presence at the game.
“Why would you bring the dog with you to a game. Just for the photo. Weird,” the fan said.
However, other fans showed appreciation for Mr. Three.
“Ohhh he is the cutest most adorable guest,” one fan gushed.

“He is cutest puppy I ever seen,” another fan had the highest compliment.
“He is too adorbs! And she looks beautiful as usual… good luck Dijonai 🤍,” this fan complimented both Carrington and her dog.
Carrington has been an integral part of the Sun’s success this year. She improved her scoring during the regular season and has remained consistent even in the postseason. In their Game 1 win against the Lynx, the two-way guard had 13 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
Reporter who asked DiJonai Carrington about “intent” behind poking Clark’s eye defends herself
In the Sun’s first postseason game, they played against the Indiana Fever. As a defensive specialist, DiJonai Carrington defended Clark as part of their defensive scheme. Unfortunately, she poked the eye of the 2024 Rookie of the Year, resulting in critics and fans calling her out.
Carrington has had a history with Clark during the season and there were questions about the intention behind the incident. Christine Brennan, a columnist for USA Today, asked the guard if she had any intention of poking Clark’s eye.
The Sun player defended herself and said she did not mean to do it. On Monday, the reporter appeared on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper. Brennan stood her ground and defended herself for the question she asked Carrington.
“The best thing I can do as a journalist is to try to give the athlete an opportunity, which I’ve done tens of thousands of times, to answer the question and tell us what she believes happened. That was literally it. And as you know, first of all I’d ask that question 100 times out of 100, I’d ask it today, the athlete has every opportunity to then take that question and go with it any way she wants,” Brennan said.
