Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon said Chennedy Carter “got caught up in the heat of the moment” and that the flagrant foul to Caitlin Clark is “not appropriate.”
Chicago Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon said guard Chennedy Carter and the team “will learn” from an incident in Saturday’s game in which Carter committed a flagrant 1 foul against Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
“Physical play, intensity, and a competitive spirit are hallmarks of Chicago Sky basketball,” Weatherspoon said in a statement released Monday. “Chennedy got caught up in the heat of the moment in an effort to win the game.
“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.”
During the third quarter of a physical back-and-forth game won 71-70 by the Fever in Indianapolis, Carter shoulder-checked Clark from behind and knocked her down before the basketball was inbounded.
