Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark said she isn’t looking for an apology from Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter, who hip-checked Clark in the teams’ game Saturday. The foul on Carter was later upgraded to a Flagrant 1 and the play ignited a week of nationwide attention.
“No, I mean basketball is competitive, I get it,” Clark said when asked if she thinks Carter owes her a public apology. “Sometimes your emotions get the best of you. It’s happened to me multiple times throughout the course of my career. People are competitive and it is what it is.”
Rather than rehash last Saturday’s incident, Clark shifted the conversation to praise Carter’s season. The Sky’s fourth-year guard is averaging 13.9 points off the bench while shooting a career-high 53 percent from the field.
“She’s having a tremendous season, she’s played great basketball in my eyes and is probably in first place for Sixth Player of the Year, she’s been great off the bench for them,” Clark said.
