Chennedy Carter's coach addresses flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark: 'Not appropriate'

Yardbarker - 241 days ago - Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon issued a statement on Monday regarding guard Chennedy Carter's flagrant foul against Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark during Saturday's game. The Hall of Famer and former New York Liberty legend called Carter's actions against Clark "not appropriate" and added that the 25-year-old will use the situation as a learning experience. Late in the third quarter during the Fever's 71-70 win against the Sky, Carter hit a jump shot and pushed the No. 1 overall pick before she could receive an inbounds pass. The play wasn't reviewed and was originally called a common foul. The play was later changed to a Flagrant 1 on Sunday following a league review. Indiana head coach Christie Sides criticized the Association on social media, calling out the perceived inconsistent officiating. Carter refused to answer questions about the foul after the game. The former first team All-Rookie signed with Chicago in February and has averaged 12.0 points, a career-high 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 ass

Draymond Green thinks Fever need 'an enforcer' to protect Caitlin Clark

Yardbarker - 241 days ago - Last week, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark sent shockwaves through the basketball world by suggesting that she's been unfairly targeted by her peers in the WNBA. "I feel like I'm getting hammered. I just — I don't know," Clark said. The comments may have led to Chicago Sky's players — at least one of them — making a concerted effort to further infuriate Clark. During Saturday's game, Clark was on the receiving end of a cheap shot from Sky guard Chennedy Carter, who hip-checked the Fever rookie and knocked her to the floor. Carter would be assessed only a common foul for the non-basketball play, but would later be handed a flagrant foul by the WNBA. To make matters worse, Carter refused to talk about her dangerous play. In light of Clark getting targeted, Warriors star Draymond Green feels it's time for Fever to "invest in an enforcer" whose job would be to protect their prized rookie. Green is obviously speaking from experience. He's excelled as the enforcer for Stephen Curry for over a decade, often s
