Paige Spiranac is sticking up for Caitlin Clark after the Indiana Fever star was sent tumbling to the ground by a cheap shot from Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter on Saturday.
“Imagine bringing millions of new fans to the game which in turn will make every player more money and yet they treat you like this,” Spiranac wrote on X. “A rising tide lifts all boats.”
Carter blindsided Clark with a hip-check foul as Clark waited for an inbounds late in the third quarter of the Fever’s 71-70 win over the Sky after Carter made a basket.
“I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions,” said Carter, who scored a game-high 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting.
Sky rookie Angel Reese, the former LSU star, stood up from the bench and applauded after Carter’s foul on Clark.
Clark had 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting, including 2-for-9 from 3-point range, with eight rebounds and six assists as the Fever improved to 2-8.
