Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has taken some lumps in her introduction to the WNBA — none more so than a flagrant foul in a one-point win on June 1 over the Chicago Sky. The former University of Iowa star was body-blocked to the floor by Chicago's Chennedy Clark in a foul that resembled a hockey check more than a basketball play, but at the time was ruled a common foul by the officials. 'That's just not a basketball play,' Clark said on the ESPN broadcast afterward.
Carter was not fined or suspended for the play. Points are given to players who commit flagrant fouls, and if they accumulate a certain amount, it results in suspensions, according to The Associated Press. What happened after Carter’s foul on Clark? Immediately after the foul, Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese leaped off the bench and started clapping. Reese and Clark had a fierce rivalry during their college careers.
