Clark floored by hip check as things get chippy between Fever, Sky

To Chennedy Carter, this is much ado about nothing.

The Chicago Sky player came under scrutiny Saturday after hip-checking the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark during an in-bound play. The WNBA on Sunday upgraded that contact from a common foul to Flagrant 1.

While Carter came under fire, she finds the whole situation silly, summing up on social media: “hoop or shut up.”

Clark appeared to have jawed in Carter’s direction earlier in the game, after a loose ball resulted in a Fever basket.

Carter also reposted of highlights involving Clark and Chicago Sky teammate Angel Reese, and another of Connecticut’s Alyssa Thomas fouling Reese.

The Fever host the Sky again on June 16, and will play in Chicago twice later this season.
