Fans call out Chennedy Carter for dirty move on Caitlin Clark
Fans called out Chennedy Carter via social media on Saturday for the way she bullied Caitlin Clark.
Clark and Carter were battling during the Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky WNBA game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on Saturday. Carter was physical with Clark over the course of a few possessions, and the two appeared to exchange some trash talk. Then late in the third quarter, Carter knocked down Clark with a hip-check.

Fans saw the non-basketball move from Carter and called her out over it.
Hahaha Chennedy Carter @ChennedyCarter is officially the clown of the summer! I don’t mind hard tough play as long as it’s a basketball move this is jealous and pettiness https://t.co/gKXeJ3QfIw

If you’re defending Reese/Chennedy here then you’re just a Caitlin Clark hater.
This is bush league stuff. https://t.co/Lrs3WgSIv0

Chennedy Carter of Chicago Sky refused to answer questions about her blatant assault of Caitlin Clark.
Chennedy Carter is a thug!@chicagosky
The @WNBA needs to immediately suspend Carter and have her arrested.
Any company sponsoring Carter should drop her.…

Chennedy Carter needs to be fined and suspended for at least a few games. That kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated, and the #WNBA refs need to do their job and throw her out of the game for that. https://t.co/Rv8UKKTGvZ

Carter was called for an away-from-the-play foul, but nothing more than that. The Fever won the game 71-70 though for their second victory of the season.
Carter’s play will do nothing to dispel the notion that many WNBA players are targeting the popular Clark, who is a rookie in the league.
