Chennedy Carter has liked and shared a number of posts on X that mock and criticize Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark just hours after Carter caused controversy by knocking Clark down during a June 1 game.
After the game, the Chicago Sky player refused to answer questions about Clark, although she denied saying anything to her. Barstool Sports and others on social media believe Carter called Clark a “b****” before knocking her down.
Since that time, though, Carter has expressed her opinions in a variety of ways through her X account. Carter, a player with the Chicago Sky WNBA team, has liked posts that shared videos of that knockdown and that make light of it.
Viral video shows Carter elbowing Clark so hard that Clark fell to the ground after Carter made a basket. According to Sports Illustrated, she was given a foul.
People took note of Carter’s X likes after the game. “The WNBA player who appeared to call Caitlin Clark a ‘b****’ and hammered her with a cheap shot is now liking tweets about how it was justified and she should do it again,” Outkick reporter and podcaster David Hookstead wrote on X. “Chennedy Carter has zero remorse. These women simply hate Clark.”
Carter also defended herself on X, commenting “yeah this the play lol” on a fan’s post of an extended video in which the poster wrote, “a little shove in the back……” referring to Clark.

Clark told ESPN in its broadcast, according to the New York Post, “Yeah, that’s just not a basketball play. But you know I’ve gotta play through it, that’s what basketball is about at this level.
