Caitlin Clark reacts to controversy after Chennedy Carter’s cheap shot

WASHINGTON — After having a few days off with her Indiana Fever teammates for the first time in the WNBA season, Caitlin Clark spoke Friday for the first time about the controversy and conversation surrounding Chennedy Carter’s blindside cheap shot nearly a week ago.

“I’m not on social media so I don’t see a lot of it but you would be surprised…,” Clark said in reply to a question from USA TODAY Sports. “Sometimes it stinks how much the conversation is outside of basketball and not the product on the floor and the amazing players that are on the floor and how good they are for their teams and how great this season has been for women’s basketball…”

Here’s the video:

The Indiana Fever play the Washington Mystics on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
