Despite the seemingly endless discourse over the last week on the subject, Caitlin Clark says that Chennedy Carter does not owe her an apology for her hip-check play on June 1.
On Friday, Clark answered questions ahead of the Indiana Fever’s matchup with the Washington Mystics. Caitlin tackled many topics, including the WNBA and Chennedy Carter.
Not only did she say that the discourse should be only about actual basketball, but Caitlin even went on to later explain that Chennedy doesn’t owe her an apology for their incident. Per Christine Brennan of USA TODAY, here’s what she shared with the media when asked if she needed an apology from Carter:
“No, I mean basketball is competitive, I get it. Sometimes, your emotions get the best of you. Happened to me multiple times throughout the course of my career.”
“She’s having a tremendous season. She’s played great basketball. In my eyes, probably in first place for Sixth Player of the Year…No. That’s just not where my focus is….It’s just basketball at the end of the day.”
