CHICAGO coach Teresa Weatherspoon released a statement Monday addressing Sky guard Chennedy Carter’s hard foul on Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark over the weekend.

Ms. Carter knocked Ms. Clark to the floor with a shoulder-check during Saturday’s game, a 71-70 win by the Fever. The WNBA upgraded the foul to a Flagrant 1 on Sunday.

“Chennedy got caught up in the heat of the moment in an effort to win the game. She and I have discussed what happened and that it was not appropriate, nor is it what we do or who we are,” Ms. Weatherspoon said in the statement.

Ms. Carter will not be fined by the WNBA. Reuters
