A controversial foul incident involving Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, arguably the most anticipated rookie in WNBA history, has sparked discussions on social media among fans and analysts alike.
Former WNBA player and former All-Star Chiney Ogwumike shared her thoughts on the incident, where Chicago Sky veteran Chennedy Carter made a hard foul away from the ball on the NCAA's all-time leading scorer.
"For those who may be new to this, the WNBA has always been a physical league, full of competitive fire and trash talk...I have played with Chennedy Carter and her choice to retaliate on a non-basketball play was literally foul and something she has struggled with her entire career. That was not okay," the 32-year-old said on ESPN.
The hard foul took place in the third quarter during the Fever-Sky game last Saturday, June 1, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where Indiana narrowly won 71-70.
"One player's approach is not indicative of an entire league...plays like this happen in sports, but now it's being used to further agendas that don't serve the game," Ogwumike added about Carter.

Carter refused to answer questions about Clark during the post-game conference.
However, she took to social media to respond to a clip of the same interview.
"Beside three point shooting man what does she bring to the table," Carter wrote on the social media platform Threads.
