INSTANT REGRET: Chennedy Carter Left in the Cold as No WNBA Team Signs Her After Caitlin Clark Incident!

Chennedy Carter may be facing the harshest consequences of her controversial actions yet—going unsigned by any WNBA team after her infamous altercation with Caitlin Clark. The fallout from the heated on-court clash, where Carter aggressively shoulder-checked Clark in a game against the Indiana Fever, appears to have damaged her reputation beyond repair.

Career in Limbo?

Despite being a talented player, Carter’s name has been notably absent from any major team signings, sparking speculation that her aggressive playstyle and alleged attitude issues may have cost her future opportunities. Many fans and analysts believe that her involvement in the incident with Clark, who has become the WNBA’s biggest star and media darling, played a significant role in this career setback.

A League-Wide Blacklist?

While no official statements have been made, insiders suggest that teams are hesitant to take on Carter due to the public backlash surrounding her actions. Some argue that the league is protecting its most marketable player, while others believe Carter’s history of conflicts has finally caught up with her.

Fans React—Fair or Unfair?

Social media is ablaze with divided opinions. Supporters of Carter insist she is being unfairly blacklisted, while Clark’s fans see this as karma for what they perceive as a dirty play.

With no team willing to take a chance on her, the big question remains—is this the end of Chennedy Carter’s WNBA career?

Chennedy Carter has no ‘regrets’ over Caitlin Clark foul: ‘It’s basketball’

Chennedy Carter is standing her ground over the controversial foul she committed against Caitlin Clark over the weekend, saying she had no “regrets” about the play.

Carter addressed the incident on Monday after the Sky’s practice in a joint media session with Angel Reese.

The Chicago guard said that while she didn’t regret the physicality, she added that it’s “all love” after they step off the court.

“I’m a competitor, and I’m going to compete no matter who you are, and no matter who’s in front of me. So that’s just what it was,” Carter told reporters Monday. “Heat of the moment play. We’re getting at it. We’re getting back and forth. It’s basketball. It’s all hoops. After we finish the game, it’s all love.”

She added: “I don’t have any regrets with anything. I’m going to compete and play 100 percent hard, no matter who it is — like I said — or who we’re playing. No, I don’t have any regrets.”

The hard foul — later upgraded to a flagrant 1 by the WNBA — occurred late in the third quarter away from the ball just as Indiana’s Aliyah Boston was preparing to make an inbounds pass.

The foul sent Clark to the floor and has become the hottest topic of discussion around the WNBA since, getting prominent coverage in media outlets across the country.

Carter took exception to those criticizing her and her teammates without watching the “whole game” and called on them to get to know the players in the WNBA who had been there before the arrival of Clark.

“I’m just seeing a lot of things of fans not understanding who I am as a player. You have to understand me as a person too and don’t just look at one tape and form an opinion about me,” she said. “I’m truly a passionate person about the game and I’m genuine. … I’m just saying don’t form an opinion off of one little clip and you didn’t see the whole game and/or the play that led to that.”

Video posted on social media following the play has shown a greater context of what led up to Carter’s flagrant foul.

The video showed the two playing physically against one another earlier in the game, and Clark was seen seemingly jawing at Carter right before the incident.

Carter appeared to allude to it as well while speaking with reporters on Monday.

“I think I got hit in the head the play before, and it was just one of those things in the heat of the moment,” Carter said, before adding that she didn’t know Clark personally prior to the game. “At the end of the day, this is hoops. It’s competitive. This is basketball and you’re playing against somebody like me, I classify myself as a dog. If you’re going to throw a punch, I’m going to compete with you. I’m going to play at the level you’re giving. That’s just the player that I am.”
