During Saturday’s game, the Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark experienced a forceful foul by Chennedy Carter of the Chicago Sky.
Initially deemed a common foul, the league later elevated it to a flagrant-1 violation. Carter showed no remorse for the incident.
Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon addressed the matter with Carter on Monday.
“Physical play, intensity and a competitive spirit are hallmarks of Chicago Sky basketball. Chennedy got caught up in the heat of the moment in an effort to win the game,” Weatherspoon said.
“She and I have discussed what happened and that it was not appropriate, nor is it what we do or who we are. Chennedy understands that there are better ways to handle situations on the court, and she will learn from this, as we all will.”
