Paige Spiranac defends Caitlin Clark after rough foul by Chennedy Carter

Paige Spiranac has voiced her support for Caitlin Clark following a contentious foul that sent the Indiana Fever star crashing to the court.

During a tense game against the Chicago Sky, guard Chennedy Carter blindsided Clark with a hip-check as she waited for an inbounds pass late in the third quarter.

The incident has sparked significant attention and discussion among fans and players alike.

Spiranac took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her disapproval of the foul and highlight Clark’s impact on the sport.
