During a tense night in Indianapolis, the former Iowa college basketball star had the last laugh as her team won their first home game of the season. Clark led the way for the Fever with 11 points, 8 boards, and 6 assists, giving them a 71–70 win.
But the push on the kid, which was called a usual foul at the time, has been the main topic of conversation about the game since then. The WNBA has now upgraded Carter’s hit to a flagrant-1 penalty. She left the Fever rookie lying on the floor after the hit in the third quarter of the game.
When asked about the incident at a press conference after the game, the Chicago star wouldn’t say anything. Reese was also criticised for cheering the push from the bench. Finally, boxer Paul spoke out about the issue. He said, “Hating on Caitlin Clark is hating on opportunity for an entire sport.”
