Chennedy Carter Takes Simultaneous Elbow to the Face From Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi.
On Sunday night, Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury picked up their second win in post-Olympic break play against Chennedy Carter and the Chicago Sky, 86-68.
With 7:55 left in the third quarter and Phoenix up by 15, the action grew a little chippy when Carter took not one but two elbows to the face at the same time while trying to fight through a screen. One came from the 6-foot-9 Griner and the other came from Taurasi.
Carter appeared to get sandwiched by the elbows, causing her to drop to the floor in some pain. The play was reviewed for a technical foul on Griner, but it was called a common foul as it was not deemed intentional.
Carter finished the game with 16 points on 7-of-18 shooting, six rebounds and six assists. She was inserted into the starting lineup, replacing Rachel Banham, after coming off the bench on Saturday against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Griner tallied 18 points on 50% shooting and five rebounds in the win, while Taurasi notched a game-high 23 points and five assists. Taurasi also received a flagrant one foul early in the game.
The Mercury are 15-13 in the 2024 WNBA season and are in a good position to secure a playoff spot. The Sky fall to 11-16 but still control their pursuit of a postseason spot.
The Sky face the Connecticut Sun in their next game on Friday, Aug. 23, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Mercury travel to Atlanta to face the Dream on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 7:30 p.m. ET.
