After a league review, the WNBA has upgraded Chennedy Carter’s foul on No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark in the third quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 71-70 win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday afternoon to a Flagrant 1. Carter will not be fined.

Late in the third, Carter knocked down a mid-range jumper, then threw a shoulder into Clark’s back and sent her tumbling to the ground. The two guards had been enjoying a competitive back-and-forth for a few possessions earlier in the frame, but there was no apparent reason for Carter to escalate the situation to such an extent.
