WNBA Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon is being blasted for her comments about her players talking about Caitlin Clark.
Basketball fans were thrilled to witness the emergence of a rivalry between Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever this season. However, another Sky player and the 2024 No. 1 overall choice are creating their own rivalry.
Following the viral social media argument with Caitlin Clark, Chennedy Carter of Chicago chose not to comment on what transpired.
“I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.”
“That’s enough. We’re good,” head coach Teresa Weatherspoon stated to the reporter.
Chennedy Carter, given a chance to explain herself postgame, says "next question."
Then later, "I ain't answering no Caitlin Clark questions."
Coach Teresa Weatherspoon stepped in: "That's enough. We're good."

This is some weak ass shit from the @chicagosky, the players involved and the head coach who I thought was way more professional and above all this nonsense. @CaitlinClark22 HELPS keep your league relevant. Be better. https://t.co/zPMqfAEDtP

If the WNBA wants to be covered like the NBA and WNBA players want the media to report and lift their endorsement announcements as in other sports leagues, those players need to be ready to answer tough accountability questions like players in those other leagues. This is weak. https://t.co/OBD79zZwOI

Carter’s foul became the emblem for two broader stories that emerged quickly around WNBA discourse: first, that older players “hate” Clark, and second, that by not calling more fouls, the league is effectively enabling those players to treat the rookie with disrespect.
As for the game, Reese finished with eight points and 13 rebounds while Clark had 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists Saturday as the Indiana Fever won their first home game of the season, 71-70, over the Chicago Sky, per ESPN.com.

Guard Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever was involved in an on-court altercation on Saturday in which Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter threw her to the ground quite forcefully. Following the game, Carter declined to comment on the event, but Clark insisted that the foul wasn’t a basketball play.
Many began to wonder why Carter would not respond to inquiries, which strengthened the rumor that players in the league weren’t big fans of Clark. Since her debut, the guard has drawn a lot of criticism, making it a significant topic of conversation these days. Carter went above and beyond what many thought was the last of it until the teams reconvened.
She took to Threads and completely ripped the skill set of Clark.
“Beside three-point shooting, what does she bring to the table, man.”
