Caitlin Clark’s teammates took some heat for not having her back after she was decked by Chennedy Carter during Saturday’s showdown between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever.
The Fever are 2-8 heading into Sunday evening’s clash against the New York Liberty, having won their first home game of the season in hotly contested clash with the Sky that went down to the wire.
The result has been overshadowed by Carter’s nasty body check on Clark, but it appears fans hardly noticed that one of the rookie’s teammates found it funny.
Aliyah Boston, who was getting ready to inbound the ball after Carter scored, initially showed some shock but began laughing while walking over to help Clark up from the floor.

Christie Sides Is Proud Of Caitlin Clark
Meanwhile, Fever head coach Christie Sides has praised Caitlin Clark for the way she’s handled the rough play.
“We’re just going to keep sending these possessions to the league, and these plays. And hopefully they’ll start, you know, taking a better look at some of the things that we see happening, or we think is happening,” she said, per the Associated Press.
“Just more happy that Caitlin handled it the way she did. You know, it’s tough to keep getting hammered the way she does and to not get rewarded with free throws or foul calls. She’s continued to fight through that. Appreciate that from her. Really, really proud of her for doing that.”
Clark finished the game with 11 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.
“I wasn’t expecting it,” she said of the foul. “It is what it is. It’s a physical game. Go make the free throw and execute on offense, and I feel like that’s kind of what we did.”
