If you’ve been following recent sports news, you might have heard about the latest drama on a WNBA court involving Caitlin Clark and Chennedy Carter. Following the ugly incident, Brittany Mahomes, wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes has some encouraging words to Caitlin.
Brittany Mahomes took to social media to share her thoughts on the incident, throwing her support behind Caitlin Clark. Mahomes made it clear that she believed Clark’s talent and urged her to keep doing what she does best.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model took to her Instagram story to express her support for the rookie Indiana Fever guard.
Her shout-out came after Clark was pushed to the ground by an opponent during Saturday’s game between the Fever and the Chicago Sky.
The Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game on Saturday was highly anticipated since it featured a first-ever professional meeting between women’s collegiate basketball rivals, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The Sky put up a strong physical defense against the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, which has been a growing tactic against Clark this season. Late in the third quarter of Indiana’s 71-70 victory over Chicago, one of the most notable moments of this occurred.
With the Fever leading 53-49 and getting ready to inbound the ball on the baseline, Sky guard Chennedy Carter came in and pushed Clark down to the floor from behind.
Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter had a foul upgraded from the WNBA on Sunday following the hotly contested matchup against the Indiana Fever.
After the league reviewed the play, Carter, who was originally given a common foul for her hip-check on Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, had the call elevated to a flagrant-1 infraction via ESPN.
Carter avoided a fine or suspension over the play.
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Brittany Mahomes isn’t afraid to speak her mind and hold players accountable for their actions. And her message to Caitlin Clark serves as a powerful reminder that in the world of sports, character matters just as much as talent.
