[Saba Sports News] Fans criticized Chennedy Carter on social media Saturday for her aggressive play against Caitlin Clark. During the Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky WNBA game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Carter was physical with Clark and exchanged trash talk. Late in the third quarter, Carter knocked Clark down with a hip-check.
Fans saw Carter’s non-basketball move and called her out for it. Carter received an away-from-the-play foul, but no further penalties. The Fever won the game 71-70, marking their second victory of the season.
Carter’s actions contribute to the perception that many WNBA players are targeting Clark, a popular rookie in the league.
