Los Angeles Sparks Waive Guard Chennedy Carter
Contentious Departure After Rookie Season
Incident with Caitlin Clark Reportedly a Factor
The Los Angeles Sparks have announced the waiving of guard Chennedy Carter after just one season with the team. The decision comes amid allegations of post-game misconduct by Carter and a contentious incident involving rookie Caitlin Clark.
During post-game interviews, Carter declined to answer questions about Clark but later reportedly criticized the rookie in a public statement. The Sparks organization has not publicly commented on the specific reasons for Carter's release.
The WNBA recently upgraded a foul Carter committed against Clark during a game to a Flagrant 1 violation. This incident is believed to have been a contributing factor to the Sparks' decision to waive Carter.
Carter, who was a highly touted prospect when she was acquired by the Sparks last year, has averaged 8.8 points and 2.0 assists per game in her time with the team. Her release leaves a significant void in the Sparks' backcourt.
TheSparks' decision to part ways with Carter is a significant development in the WNBA. It highlights the importance of maintaining professionalism and sportsmanship in the league and sets a precedent for similar incidents in the future.
