The WNBA on Sunday upgraded Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter's foul against Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark to a flagrant-1 violation after reviewing the play.
Carter gave a shoulder shot to Clark that knocked her to the floor before an inbound pass during the third quarter of Saturday's 71-70 win by the Fever. The officials called it an away-from-the-ball foul and didn't review the play. It was deemed a common foul at the time.
The league fined Sky forward Angel Reese $1,000 for failing to make herself available to media after Saturday’s game. The WNBA also fined Chicago $5,000 for failing to ensure that all players comply with league media policies.
The league office may reclassify a flagrant foul or upgrade a foul to a flagrant one that isn’t called during the game. In addition, the league may impose a fine or suspend a player for a flagrant foul. The WNBA didn’t do either to Carter.

WNBA trying to fix their Anti White Bias before the money starts to go away. BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!
Tru dat
I saw the clip, several times.
Again, she flopped like a g@y soccer player.
Didn't look like a flop to me.
The appropriate move was to suspend Kennedy (what's her name?) 5 games and to fine Angel $50,000.
But the WNBA failed to do that.
New fans will realize that the WNBA product is garbage even though they do admire CC. Then the gravy train will end for the WNBA just as it was getting started.
a woman athlete friend advised me that it is not because Clark is White or pretty, but that she is straight. Apparently that is not the norm in the WNBA.
They need to show Angel Reese jumping off the bench cheering Carter after that play. ( she later hugs her as she comes to the bench).
Clark needs to add about 15# muscle soon. Weight training asap
Ms. Clark should sign a few endorsement contracts, retire rich before she gets seriously hurt by these ferals.
She already has about $30m in sponsor money.
The most striking thing to me is that not a single Clark teammate went after and beat the tits off that black buffalo after the foul on Clark
its easy to play rough with a chip on your shoulder, no!
This is so much more than I ever want to know about the WNBA.
She was just blindside (which was done on purpose)-they are obvioulsy jealous
for sure this is one part racist and one part jealousy. a failed ghetto girl on her (4th?) team known for attacking teammates decides to take a shot at the new girl in town.
This c- should have been ejected and suspended but WNBA management and refs are pathetic. And they wonder why nobody watches.
