Caitlin Clark BODYCHECKED by Chennedy Carter, who appears to yell “bitch” before attacking, and escapes with only a personal foul as Indiana Fever plays Chicago Sky.

Caitlin Clark was inexplicably knocked to the ground by the Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter near the end of the third quarter of the Indiana Fever’s final WNBA game on Saturday.

Carter shoved Clark to the ground while waiting for the tackle, and the Chicago player notably escaped with only a personal foul.

Television replays appear to show Carter yelling “bitch” at Clark before pushing her to the ground. It wasn’t immediately clear how Clark had provoked Carter, if at all, but the Fever star wasn’t anticipating any impact.

Clark ended up having the last laugh: her team held on for a one-point victory and the 71-70 win was the team’s first home win of the season.

There were 15 seconds left on the clock in the third quarter and when time ran out, Clark gave his reaction to ESPN.

“That’s not a basketball play, but I have to play it, that’s what basketball at this level is all about,” he said.

Before the game, Clark, the No. 1 pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, said players repeatedly got away with fouling her.

While Clark’s broader claims have been debated, Carter seemed lucky to escape without harsher punishment.

Meanwhile, Clark, speaking midweek after his 30-point game in a loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, said: “I think everyone is physical with me.”

‘They get away with things that other people probably don’t get away with. It’s hard.’

Saturday’s game was the first time Clark faced her college rival Angel Reese, who was the seventh overall pick in the WNBA Draft and was chosen by Chicago.
