Chicago Sky’s star online slip adds fuel to heated rivalry with the Indiana rookie
WNBA player Chennedy Carter found herself the latest victim of an online prank after replying to a fake Lonzo BallTwitter account. The bogus tweet referenced a recent foul controversy involving Indiana Fever‘s Caitlin Clarkand Chicago Sky‘sAngel Reese, stating, “I need @Reese10Angel and @ChennedyCarter to realize whenever they play the Fever, they’re playing against the officials too. They both have to be extra disciplined.”
Taking the bait, Carter earnestly responded, “Noted I gotchu,” complete with a laughing emoji, only to realize later she had been duped.
This online mishap comes hot on the heels of a tense game where Angel Reese was slapped with a Flagrant 1 foul for striking Caitlin Clark during a critical third-quarter play. With the Fever barely ahead at 63-62, Reese’s attempt to stop Clark resulted in a head hit, which, after review, upgraded the foul and allowed Clark to make two free throws. This incident added fuel to the already fiery competition between the teams.Not long ago, Carter had her own run-in with Clark, earning a flagrant foul for an aggressive shoulder check during a nail-biting 71-70 Fever victory. The altercation didn’t end there; Carter’s heated exchange included a not-so-subtle, “You b*tch!” before pushing Clark to the ground. The incident, which seemed personal, underscored the intense and often volatile nature of these matchups.
Unfair treatment? Caitlin Clark’s rough road in the WNBA
Caitlin Clark, who has swiftly become a WNBA sensation, often finds herself at the center of these intense confrontations. The rookie, who averages over 15 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game, also leads the league in turnovers and technical fouls. Despite the constant pressure, Clark maintains her focus, though the frustration is clear. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Clark said post-game. “It is what it is. It’s a physical game. Go make the free throw and execute on offense, and I feel like that’s kind of what we did.”
Coach Christie Sides of the Fever has been vocal about what she perceives as unfair treatment towards Clark, arguing that the young star is being singled out by officials. Clark echoed these sentiments, stating, “I think everybody is physical with me; they get away with things that probably other people don’t get away with. It’s tough, but that’s just the fact of the matter.” Despite the physicality and the challenges, Clark’s resolve remains unshaken.
As Caitlin Clark continues her transition from college to professional basketball, the scrutiny and physicality she faces are unparalleled. Her journey is closely watched by fans and critics alike, making every game a testament to her resilience.
