DiJonai Carrington surprised her Connecticut Sun teammate Marina Mabrey with a thoughtful gesture after her lighthearted joke at Mabrey’s expense. Mabrey’s career earnings are $639,881 per Spotrac. During a practice session for Unrivaled, Carrington gave Mabrey a set of seasoning ingredients, capturing her reaction on X, previously known as Twitter.
“alright y’all I had to run to the store and get my girl right!! just a lil starter pack ! don’t worry , ima show her how to use em 😫😫😂❤️❤️,” Carrington tweeted.
“You made me smile, I was sad before you came over here,” Mabrey said in the video shared by Carrington.
This gesture followed DiJonai Carrington’s playful response to Marina Mabrey’s post on X earlier that day. Mabrey had shared a photo of avocado oil spray, black pepper, and pink salt, humorously claiming, “I can finally coook.” Carrington retweeted the post, teasing Mabrey about her culinary skills.
“BAHAHAHAHAHAHA dawg, I spit my drink out. wtf are you making with these 3 things bro??? 😭😭 i gotta getchu right omg,” Carrington tweeted.
