Chennedy Carter had reportedly wanted to fight with Courtney Williams when they were teammates on the Atlanta Dream.
Chennedy Carter made the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently when she delivered a cheap shot to Caitlin Clark during a game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever. Carter received a fair bit of criticism for the act but if you thought that it might have been out of character for her, it certainly was not.
Back in 2021, when Carter was playing for the Atlanta Dream, she wanted to fight her then-teammate Courtney Williams, according to Spencer Nusbaum. In the first quarter of a game against the Las Vegas Aces on July 4, Williams told her teammate to improve her attitude on the bench, as she appeared to be disengaged.
Carter wasn’t too happy to hear that and after the game, reportedly told Williams that she wanted to fight her. Williams, who had gotten into a fight with a teammate a few years earlier, had no interest in throwing hands and simply walked away.
While no fight broke out, the team understandably felt the need to take action. The Dream decided to suspend Carter indefinitely for “conduct detrimental to the team.”
She didn’t play again that season and was then traded to the Los Angeles Sparks before the 2022 campaign. It was just two years earlier that the Aces had selected Carter with the fourth pick of the 2020 WNBA Draft, but they felt she was more trouble than she was worth.
Being on a new team certainly didn’t seem to lead to a change in Carter, as she was benched for poor conduct during the 2022 campaign. Then after the season, the Sparks waived Carter and she had to go to Turkey to continue her professional basketball career.
It was after her time in Turkey that the Sky signed Carter before the 2024 season. They might have hoped that the 25-year-old would stay out of trouble, but that hasn’t been the case. You can check out the viral incident below, in case you missed it.
This was only deemed a common foul by the officials but the WNBA later upgraded it to a flagrant-1. The league certainly made the right decision there.
