The Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever are still feeling the fallout from their close-run matchup on Saturday afternoon. The Sky came up just a little short, losing 71-70, but the drama from the game is about so much more than the score.
The WNBA announced Sunday that Chennedy Carter’s hard foul on Caitlin Clark late in the third quarter has been upgraded to a flagrant-1. The play was declared a personal foul at the time and was not reviewed. Players can be suspended or fined if they’ve committed a flagrant foul, but the WNBA did not announce any punishment for Carter.

There is no justifying what Carter did, but it didn’t come out of nowhere. Clark is a trash talker, and a longer clip of the incident shows that may have been what led to the shove.

The free throw Clark made on that foul ended up being the difference-maker in that game. It gave the Fever the one point they needed to beat the Sky and not only earn their second win of the season, but their first at home.
