Caitlin Clark says no apology is needed from Chennedy Carter for her flagrant foul

WASHINGTON (AP) โ€” Caitlin Clark sounds ready to move on from Chennedy Carter's flagrant foul.

Clark was asked before Indiana's game at Washington on Friday night whether she thinks Carter owes her a public apology, and the rookie standout dismissed the idea.

โ€œNo. I mean, basketball's competitive. I get it," Clark said. โ€œSometimes your emotions get the best of you. Happened to me multiple times throughout the course of my career.โ€

Clark then took the court and made a career-high seven 3-pointers in the Fever's 85-83 win over the Mystics. She equaled her career high with 30 points.

Carter, who plays for the Chicago Sky, knocked Clark to the floor before an inbounds pass in a game last weekend. The WNBA eventually upgraded the foul to a flagrant 1, and the incident led to a larger debate over how Clark has been received in her first season in the league.

โ€œPeople are competitive,โ€ Clark said Friday. โ€œIt is what it is, and she's having a tremendous season. She's played great basketball, in my eyes probably in first place for Sixth Player of the Year. ... There's no grudges. There's nothing like that. It's a sport. It's competitive. It's not going to be nice all the time.โ€
