Carter's foul on Clark upgraded by WNBA; Reese fined for no postgame interview
NEW YORK â The WNBA on Sunday upgraded Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter's foul against Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark to a flagrant-1 violation after reviewing the play.Carter gave a shoulder shot to Clark that knocked her to the floor before an inbound pass during the third quarter of Saturday's 71-70 win by the Fever. The officials called it an away-from-the-ball foul and didn't review the play. It was deemed a common foul at the time.
The league office may reclassify a flagrant foul or upgrade a foul to a flagrant one that isn't called during the game. In addition, the league may impose a fine or suspend a player for a flagrant foul. The WNBA didn't do either to Carter.Players accumulate points for flagrant fouls during the regular season and receive suspensions if they reach a certain number.
