As a whole, we all have a responsibility to make sure that things like that don\u2019t happen, for anybody to get hit like that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the league standpoint, you have to protect your players. The fact that the referees didn\u2019t take the time within the game to go and look at it, I was really surprised. I was at the game. I was really surprised that they didn\u2019t look at it and that they just kept it moving. That\u2019s not a basketball play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The league eventually upgraded the call to a Flagrant I the following day, but the ESPN broadcast captured Clark asking an official to review it Saturday in the third quarter of the Fever\u2019s win \u2014 their second of the season \u2014 against the Sky.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Clark, averaging 15.6 points and 6.4 assists per game as a rookie, mentioned that the felt like she was \u201cgetting hammered\u201d by opponents, and Fever head coach Christie Sides said Sunday that Indiana will continue \u201cfighting to get calls\u201d just as it did last year with 2023 No. 1 overall pick Aliyah Boston.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want to show that they\u2019re vets in this league and they want to make it hard on these rookies,\u201d Sides said before the Liberty defeated the Fever, 104-68, at Barclays Center on Sunday. \u201cThat\u2019s just like how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carter told reporters Monday that she has \u201cno regrets\u201d about what unfolded despite head coach Teresa Weatherspoon saying in a statement that the play was \u201cnot appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Catchings told USA Today that Reese should also know that \u201call eyes are watching you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAngel has got to be herself but there\u2019s got to be a maturity level from all of our rookies, as you grow in this game and as you become more mature, you understand what is acceptable and what\u2019s not acceptable,\u201d Catchings said. \u201cAnd you learn from the mistakes that you make. Angel hopefully has the right people around her that are like, hey, you know what, not cool right there. And how do you adjust and how do you learn from the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sky will face the Fever two more times this month on June 16 and 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Since Chennedy Carter knocked Caitlin Clark to the ground with her shoulder Saturday, there has been plenty of criticism connected to Carter\u2019s hard foul.
