Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter’s controversial foul on Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has been upgraded to a flagrant-1 foul, multiple reports say.

According to multiple reports, including from Annie Costabile of the Chicago Sun-Times and Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune, the Carter foul was upgraded Sunday morning, one day after the Fever took down a 71-70 win over the Sky in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup opener for both teams.

According to Poe, flagrant fouls don’t result in fines, but players are instead assessed “points” depending on the severity of the foul. Once a player reaches three or more flagrant “points,” they can be suspended by the league.

The foul occurred in the third quarter of the game after a made basket by the Sky. After Carter made a basket, she came up beside Clark and bumped her, sending the star guard falling to the ground.
