Several basketball fans confessed they had no idea who Chennedy Carter was before an incident involving the Chicago Sky point guard and Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark on Saturday.

We can’t say whether that is true or not. But Carter has been trending since then, and just about anyone with an interest in WNBA basketball right now should know who she is.

The 25-year-old Texas native has been the subject of quite a lot of discussion since body-checking Caitlin, although it appears it happened after she received an elbow to the face on a previous play.

Carter’s disturbing history in the WNBA has since been brought to light.

The former Texas A&M star was selected as the No. 4 overall pick by the Atlanta Dream in 2020. According to a report from The Next Hoops, she was suspended by the team midway through the 2021 campaign because she “stayed in the locker room for the second half of the team’s game against the Aces.”

The report added, “Following the game, Carter approached [teammate Courtney] Williams about playing time and suggested she wanted to fight her teammate.”

She was traded to the Los Angeles Sparks shortly after but was released after just 24 games after getting “benched for poor conduct during the season.”

Chennedy Carter has shown zero remorse since Saturday’s incident, not that she has to, especially if she feels she got hit first.

She refused to speak to reporters about Caitlin or the foul after the contest and slammed the rookie’s game in a social media post. Meanwhile, the WNBA has upgraded the hit from a common foul to a flagrant 1, though she wasn’t fined or suspended.
