Chennedy Carter declined questions about her hard foul on Caitlin Clark. Her social media reaction spoke volumes

Chennedy Carter wasn’t completely mum about her foul on Caitlin Clark.

Chennedy Carter has been taking some heat over the last day for a hip-check on Caitlin Clark in Saturday’s meeting between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever.

The play in question came late in the third quarter and was deemed unnecessary by many, as Carter sent Clark took the ground as she awaited an inbound pass. It was the latest example of Clark’s not-so-warm welcome to the WNBA, which has led Indiana to submit plays to the league for review.

Though it appeared Carter’s altercation with Clark may have stemmed from at least one play earlier, when Clark said something to her, Carter declined to answer questions about it after the game. So we don’t know exactly why she felt the need to do it.

However, a glance through Carter’s social media feed might provide all the answers you need to know.

Since the end of the game, Carter has shared fan posts to her Instagram story, liked tweets on X and even tweeted things herself related to the game, her stellar performance and even Clark. Some not as subtle as others, like this Threads post saying “beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table.”

Some of that activity may shed light on why she committed the foul. The social media reactions span from people saying Clark started it to people thinking Clark flopped to people saying it’s just basketball.

These were some of the posts Carter liked or responded to on X.

Caitlin Clark started it

It’s a part of competition

Caitlin flopped

I think it’s reasonable to say Clark may have both started it and flopped, but Carter also took it a little too far. The conversation doesn’t need to go beyond that.
