Brittany Mahomes has Caitlin Clark’s back and is not afraid to show her public support.

Brittany Mahomes knows all about a bunch of people coming for her for no particular reason, so for that reason, among many others, Patrick Mahomes’s wife decided to speak out in support of Caitlin Clark.

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.

Clark finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, and six assists in the Fever’s first home win of the season.

 

WNBA Upgraded Hard Foul On Caitlin Clark

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.

Chennedy Carter continued her feud with Caitlin Clark by ripping the Indiana Fever star on social media following Saturday’s game at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Things got testy between Chennedy Carter and Caitlin Clark during the Fever’s home game against the Chicago Sky. After some chirping between the two stars, Carter delivered an unnecessary cheap shot on Clark late in the third quarter:

The officials initially called a foul on Carter, but the WNBA reviewed the play and later assessed a flagrant 1 foul to the 25-year-old. After the game, Carter also told reporters she wasn’t answering questions about Clark.

Instead, Chennedy Carter decided to wait until she logged onto social media to continue chirping the Fever superstar. On Instagram, Carter wrote, “beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table man” with a laughing emoji.

 

Fans also noticed Angel Reese cheering from the sidelines following Carter’s cheap shot on Clark. Referencing Reese, Carter wrote on another thread, “my dawg fasho , got all my teammates.”


Tell us how you really feel about Caitlin Clark, Chennedy.

Regardless, Clark and the Fever got the last laugh by holding on for a tight 71-70 victory. That marked the end of Indiana’s three-game losing streak, as well as their first home win of the season.

Chennedy Carter & Chicago Will Meet Indiana Three More Times

For those entertained by the Chicago-Indiana rivalry, there’s good news: These two teams still play three more times over the remainder of the regular season.

Fans won’t have to wait too long for the next meeting, as the Fever will again host the Sky on June 16 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Clark and the Fever will visit the Sky for the first time one week later on June 23 (6:00 p.m. EST) in a game that will be featured on NBA TV.
