Chennedy Carter made headlines earlier this season for a flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark, and the Chicago Sky player is under scrutiny for another hard foul – this time on a former teammate.
During Friday night’s game between the Sky and the Connecticut Sun, Carter hit Sun guard Marina Mabrey across the face before Mabrey went up for a layup.
As Mabrey was down on the floor holding her face, Carter was assessed with a flagrant 1 foul on her ex-teammate.
After the video went viral on social media, many fans are asking for discipline from the WNBA.

“I hope this is being reviewed by the commission,” one fan said. “This is not how basketball should be played. Chennedy Carter should be suspended for this and she should have been ejected from the game.”
“Chennedy Carter cannot be allowed to violently assault people,” said another fan.
“Carter should be suspended,” one fan added.
“The ball isn’t even in an upward motion,” said former player and coach Rachel Galligan, pointing out that Carter could have been ejected for not making a play on the ball.
“Carter is a baller but she already got like 4 flagrants this season for hitting people like this, if you want to prove a point do it by scoring and helping your team not hitting people,” another fan said.
“Even Draymond Green thinks this is flagrant,” one fan said.
“Considering they were teammates until very recently and Marina had requested a trade— safe to assume this was personal. I want her to just chill out bc she’s an incredible basketball player. Alas,” said another fan.
As one fan mentioned, Carter does lead the WNBA in flagrant fouls this season with four.
Much like the NBA, there is an automatic suspension given when a player has enough flagrant fouls in a season.
For the WNBA, that number is seven. The seventh flagrant foul will cause an automatic one-game suspension, as will every other technical assessed over the course of the season.
In this scenario, a player would be suspended for their ninth, 11th, 13th flagrant fouls, etc.
We’ll see if the league chooses to change Carter’s foul as they did previously with her shove of Caitlin Clark.
