Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter may have dribbled around Caitlin Clark questions after Saturday’s incident with the Indiana Fever, but her social media likes told a different story.

Carter decided she wasn’t going to answer any Clark questions after she hip-checked the sharpshooter to the floor in the third quarter. 

Instead of scorn from her bench, Carter was met with cheers as she poured on 19 points in a 71-70 defeat.

The Sky player decided to offer a defense of herself through her likes on X.

She liked posts that said the Fever had nobody defending Clark on the floor and suggesting Clark flopped to the court when Carter pushed her. There were several other posts criticizing those who may have been tuning into the league for the first time this season and weighing in on the incident. Another post took issue with the Clark question.

"troll notifications blowing up. I love it," Carter wrote on X.

The hip-check was the talk of the sports world Saturday. Clark brushed it off when asked about it in a postgame press conference.
