“I don’t know how you leave the country without her,” four-time Olympic gold medalist Lisa Leslie commented in April, emphasizing that Clark “one hundred percent” deserved a spot-on Team USA.
Chennedy Carter’s Foul Goes Viral
Adding to the buzz around Clark, an incident involving Chennedy Carter of the Chicago Sky went viral last week.
During a game against Indiana, Carter blindsided Clark, resulting in a foul later upgraded to a Flagrant 1 by the league. In the league’s monitoring system accumulating enough flagrant points can lead to player suspensions.
When asked if Carter owed her an apology, Clark responded with grace. “You know, no, I mean basketball is competitive, I get it,” Clark said.
“Sometimes your emotions get the best of you. Happened to me multiple times throughout the course of my career. People are competitive. It is what it is.”
She also took the opportunity to praise Carter’s performance this season, acknowledging her significant contributions off the bench and noting her strong candidacy for Sixth Player of the Year.
