The Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter refused to take any Caitlin Clark questions after a hard foul that sent the Indiana Fever star to the floor during a loss on the road on Saturday afternoon.
After scoring late in the third quarter on the other end, Carter shoulder-checked Clark as she waited for an inbound pass and was immediately whistled for a foul.
In her postgame press conference, Carter rebuffed attempts from reporters looking to find out what led to the ugly incident.
“I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions,” Carter said at the podium. “I don’t know what she said. I didn’t say anything.”
Minutes after the incident, Clark told ESPN that she took exception to the hard foul in a conversation she had with the referees after the buzzer.
“Yeah, that’s just not a basketball play,” Clark said. “But you know I’ve gotta play through it, that’s what basketball is about at this level. I thought we’ve been really physical, we’ve missed some bunnies around the rim, so hopefully those fall in the fourth.”
The Fever would go on to win a 71-70 thriller over the Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, their second win of the season and first at home.
Clark finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
“I wasn’t expecting it,” Clark told reporters of the foul after the game. “It is what it is. It’s a physical game. Go make the free throw and execute on offense and I feel like that’s kind of what we did.”
Carter was the leading scorer in the game, dropping 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting from the field.
Clark, the No. 1 overall draft pick, has already had clashes with opposing players during her young WNBA career.
Earlier this week, Clark got into it with Victoria Vivians of the Seattle Storm after drilling a deep 3-pointer.
Clark was issued a technical foul after the incident, her third since joining the Fever.
“I feel like I’m getting hammered, I don’t know,” she told reporters Thursday.
Indiana takes on the Liberty at Barclays Center on Sunday.
