The game between Indiana and Chicago surely turned out to be a fiery contest. However, it was not only because the game went down to the wire but also because of the physical altercation between Chennedy Carter and Caitlin Clark.
Soon after the final buzzer, there were huge demands on social media to penalize Carter for her actions.
A account using the name of senior lead NBA Insider for the Athletic, Shams Charania was among the first to circulate the news that the league has stepped in. In an X post, the account stated that the WNBA plans to fine Carter for her on-court antics with Clark. The post says, “The WNBA says they are fining Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter, $25 dollars, for an altercation with Caitlin Clark earlier this evening, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.”
This tweet has 2.6 million+ views, 35K likes, and has been reposted more than 3k times. Many fans in the comments section have also been left infuriated with the supposed developments.
The whole discussion revolves around what transpired between Clark and Carter late in the third quarter during Saturday’s game. After connecting on her mid-range jumper, Carter charged towards Clark from behind and forcefully shouldered her to the ground as the Iowa alumnae was getting ready for the inbound pass. This was after both had a competitive back-and-forth battle for the possession seconds earlier. The away-from-the-ball call didn’t lead to a flagrant or technical foul against Chicago’s No.7.
Nonetheless, Indiana was awarded 1 free throw and the possession as is the rule when an away-from-the-ball foul is called. Clark made the free-throw, which turned out to be the final point in the quarter for either team.
Meanwhile, the 6-foot guard is trying not to let the on-court drama affect her in any way.
