Cheddney Carter, the woman who hip checked Clark has a bit of a history.
"In July of 2021, she was suspended for 'conduct detrimental to the team'. According to reports around the time the suspension was issued, Carter got into an argument with another player on the Dream - Courtney Williams - who asked her to 'improve her attitude' during a game.
After the game ended, Carter went up to Williams in the locker room telling her she wanted to fight. Once that request for an altercation was denied, Carter backed away. She did not play for the Dream again.
For the 2022 season, Atlanta traded her to the Los Angeles Sparks where she didn't get much playing time - averaging just 16 minutes a game and playing in only 24 contests.
She was waived in March of 2023. It was revealed by the Los Angeles Times that Carter had been benched the previous season due to 'poor conduct'. It was further reported that interim coach Fred Williams benched Carter for four games due to a 'coaches decision'."
Anyways...this should of been squashed days ago, but Carter was still yapping on Instagram and Twitter.
The Sky coach finally responded today after first calling it a basketball play. Responding today aka 2 days late and $5,000 short, for the team. And $1,000 dollars short for Angel Reese. Angel was fined for failing to make herself available to the media for interviews following the game vs Indiana.
The Sky organization was fined $5,000 for failing to ensure that all players comply with WNBA media policies.
