Sky player harassed in hotel in wake of Caitlin Clark-Chennedy Carter incident

Chicago Sky players, including Angel Reese, say one of their teammates was “harassed” at the team’s hotel before their game in Washington, DC on Thursday

The reports follow a widely publicized intentional foul committed by Sky guard Chennedy Carter on Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark on Saturday.

Reese said Wednesday that someone put a camera in “my teammate’s face,” while teammate Isabelle Harrison said she “couldn’t even get off the bus.”

Reese, Harrison and Michaela Onyenwere described the incident on X:

Onyenwere praised the security team for their “great job in de-escalating the situation.”

In a 71-70 loss to the Fever on Saturday in Indianapolis, Carter threw Clark onto the field and was subsequently assessed a Class 1 intentional foul for the contact.

The incident drew national media attention to Sky and Carter, who received applause from the Chicago home crowd during a game against the New York Liberty on Tuesday.

“It was a good feeling to know that Sky Town supported me,” Carter said after the 88-75 loss (h/t the New York Post(Jaclyn Hendricks). “The fans got loud and that ultimately motivated me and gave me confidence. When I came in, they gave me confidence and I started to feel it. I was like, ‘Okay, the crowd is behind you, your team is behind you, let’s go.'”

The Sky want to end their two-game losing streak against the Washington Mystics on Thursday evening.
