After the encounter, she shared her thoughts on social media. "Yall I can not lie to you..

More about Women's Basketball from A to Z Sports Brittany Mahomes shows support for Caitlin Clark and sends very important message after viral on-court incident It has not been an easy transition for Caitlin Clark since she started her highly anticipated WNBA career.
And that's not because of her lack of experience. The welcome she has received from fellow players in the league has been disappointing, and it was on full display during a very controversial moment during the Indiana Fever's recent game against the Chicago Sky. Sky guard Chennedy Carter appeared to say something to Clark before shoulder-checking and hip-checking the Fever star to the ground.
It was unprovoked and before the play started, however, the officials initially called it an away-from-the-ball foul, and didn't review the play.This foul quickly gained a lot of traction on social media, with everyone from sports figures to fans, commenting on the hate Clark has received. But with all that, many people also voiced their support.
And Brittany Mahomes was one of them. "@caitlinclark22 keep doing your thing!!" Brittany wrote in her message to the Clark on her Instagram story. "You're a baller and it's incredible to see what you're doing for the game and women's sports!!" The WNBA reviewed Carter's foul and it was upgraded to a flagrant-1 violation.
Not a good look for the “Caitlin Clark isn’t hated” crowd...
The blindside cheap shot, the “you’re a b*tch” before it happens, the immediate standing & cheering from Angel Reese on the bench...
Take your pick The Fever need an enforcer on the squad IMMEDIATELY. This can’t happen. pic.
