Chennedy Carter Makes Statement After Big Chicago Sky Announcement

Chennedy Carter Makes Statement After Big Chicago Sky Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a rough start to the 2025 season for the Chicago Sky. Through seven games, the Sky have managed just two wins. Their latest outing, a home game against the Indiana Fever at the United Center, ended in a disappointing offensive performance with just 52 points scored. Advertisement Adding to their struggles, the team received devastating news about one of its top players. On Sunday evening, the Sky announced they will be down one of their top players for the rest of the 2025 season. "Courtney Vandersloot underwent an MRI yesterday that revealed a torn right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), an injury she sustained in the June 7th game against Indiana. Vandersloot will miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season and undergo surgery to repair the injury. All of Skytown is behind you, Sloot!" the team said in a statement. With Vandersloot out, the franchise is now forced to evaluate long-term options to fill the void on the roster. One name that quickly surfaced is former Sky guard Chennedy Carter. Advertisement Shortly after the news broke, Carter posted a pointed message on her Threads account. "When the universe gives you signs you pay attention! What goes around always comes back around. When you have ugly in your heart the outcome will always backfire 🅿️🫵🏽Just wanna say pay attention to the universe. it's speaking to us 🏁." Former Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter (7).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Chennedy Carter was drafted fourth overall in the 2020 WNBA Draft by the Atlanta Dream after a standout college career at Texas A&M. She later joined the Chicago Sky, where she played the best basketball of her pro career. During her lone season with the Sky, Carter appeared in 33 games and started 20. She posted career-highs across the board, averaging 17.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. Advertisement After her WNBA stint, Carter signed with Wuhan Shengfan for the 2024-25 season and absolutely dominated. She led the league in scoring, averaging 31.4 points per game, including a monster 44-point outing. She scored her highest points in a game in November 2023 when she put up 51 points. She also recorded the league's first triple-double of the season, putting up 33 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game. Following her MVP season, Carter signed with Adelitas de Chihuahua, a Mexican League team. Now, with a roster spot open and Carter making noise on social media, the Sky may have an interesting decision to make. Whether a reunion is in the cards remains to be seen, but Carter has certainly made it clear, she's paying attention.

Chennedy Carter Is Trending Amid Chicago Sky's Blowout Loss to Indiana Fever

Chennedy Carter Is Trending Amid Chicago Sky's Blowout Loss to Indiana Fever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky carried a 2-4 record into their second matchup of the 2025 season against the Indiana Fever. During opening weekend, the Sky suffered a 93-58 loss to the Fever on the road at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Advertisement On Saturday, the Sky lost by a large margin once again, as they fell 79-52. Making matters worse, star Fever guard Caitlin Clark did not play. She had a triple-double in the season opener. Not a single Sky play scored in double-figures on Saturday, and the team as a while shot just 32.1% from the field. This loss illuminated some of Chicago's scoring issues this season. Last season, despite the team finishing with a 13-27 record, guard Chennedy Carter was one of the top scorers in the WNBA at 17.5 points per game, and led Chicago in that category. She is now playing in Mexico after not being on a WNBA roster to begin the 2025 season. Advertisement While the contest was still going on, Sky fans began posting all over social media about wanting Carter to return to Chicago amid the team's offensive struggles. "Chicago Sky need Chennedy Carter 🥴," one fan wrote. "Kamilla being the top scorer right now on the Sky is crazy," another said. "Smh. Cant believe they got rid of Chennedy." "The Chicago Sky trading Mabrey last season and not bringing back Chennedy Carter killed any offense they had," a fan chimed in. "Letting Chennedy go was crazy," a fan posted. Former Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter (7).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images "After watching this game, letting Chennedy go was a job losing mistake on (general manager) Jeff (Pagliocca)'s part," another fan posted.

"Get you some people that can score some points. 41 points in 4 quarters is unacceptable! Call chennedy carter some who can score and run the damn floor 🙄."

Chennedy Carter kisses fan's breasts while Chicago Sky fans plead for her WNBA return

Chennedy Carter went for it. Previously a scrappy WNBA player before not being extended a qualifying offer by the Chicago Sky, Carter is now playing in the Mexican league and signing fans' breasts. Carter approached some fans at an arena who were asking for pictures, while another fan gave her a marker to get her autograph on her chest. 5 Chennedy Carter points at one fan's boobs as she's asked for an autograph. X, @LunarSkye The female fan had already received an autograph on her chest from someone else, presumably a player on the team who had already walked by. Carter obliged, and when she was done signing her name she went in and kissed the fan's chest. 5 Chennedy Carter signs one girl's chest as they laugh. X, @LunarSkye 5 Carter had fun with the request. X, @LunarSkye 5 Chennedy Carter and Caitlin Clark ignite beef with a hip check. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Carter, the Sky's leading scorer last year, departed from the WNBA last season after a tumultuous year where drama was afoot inside the team's locker room. She's likely most remembered for her role in one of the season's most polarizing incidents last April. Carter inaudibly screamed in Fever star Caitlin Clark's direction before she hip-checked the former No. 1 pick, sending her down to the floor. 5 Chennedy Carter drives the lane. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images How former coach Teresa Witherspoon handled that situation and others splintered the locker room, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. 'According to multiple league sources, players were unhappy with the dynamic created in the locker room last year due to Carter's behavior, which went unchecked by former coach Teresa Weatherspoon,' Annie Costabile wrote in January after Weatherspoon was fired. 'There was concern within the team regarding how re-signing Carter would impact the Sky's chances of landing other free agents.' Carter played for three teams in four years and was also suspended by the Atlanta Dream for 'conduct detrimental to the team.' Through all of the drama, Carter was highly productive with the Sky, averaging a career high 17.5 points per game. That is part of why Sky fans want her back, particularly so after Clark committed a flagrant foul on Angel Reese in the season opener Saturday. '@chicagosky Look like you guys could use more scoring after Saturday's performance. Just pick up the phone and invite her back! It's that simple!' one fan wrote on X. 'Sky need her back asap,' another wrote.

Caitlin Clark's former WNBA tormentor makes inappropriate move on fan in Mexico

Chennedy Carter has put herself in the spotlight once again after making an inappropriate move on a fan in Mexico. Carter, who drew huge scrutiny last year for body-checking Caitlin Clark to the floor, is now playing in Mexico for Adelitas de Chihuahua. And following a recent game, she made a questionable decision when several fans asked her for autographs and pictures. After posing for a couple of routine selfies, Carter was asked by a female fan to sign her chest. The former Chicago Sky obliged - before quickly kissing the top of the woman's chest. In a video of the incident, the fan could be seen letting out a smile immediately afterwards, while others around laughed. Carter also looked shocked yet elated at what she had done. While Carter is an accomplished WNBA player and led the Sky in scoring last year with 17.5 points per game, she failed to latch onto a team this past offseason after Chicago decided not to bring her back. Her viral interaction with Clark is far from the only time she has supposedly ruffled the feathers of another player, as the Chicago Sun-Times reported she was let go from the Sky after upsetting the team's locker room dynamic. While a member of the Dream in 2021, Carter was also suspended for 'conduct detrimental to the team.' The move came after she challenged a teammate to a fight in the locker room, according to The Next. After Carter shoved Clark to the floor last season, Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon publicly criticized the play, insisting it was 'not appropriate'. 'She and I have discussed what happened and that it was not appropriate, nor is it what we do or who we are,' Weatherspoon said. But Carter insisted: 'There's no line. I'm competing. I'm going to compete... if you're going to throw punches first, I'm going to compete. It's all love. It's basketball. 'This happens in the NBA. Actually, I'm focused on New York (Liberty) now, I'm not really focused on that play anymore. It happened... it's over with.' While Clark was often targeted with hard fouls during her rookie season, she actually found herself on the other side of things over the weekend. During the opener between the Fever and Sky, Clark slapped Angel Reese across the arm after she grabbed an offensive rebound, sending her tumbling to the floor midway through the third quarter. Reese was left incensed by the push, leaping back to her feet and making a beeline for the Fever star before her teammates quickly intervened. Clark was assessed a flagrant one foul for the play, but insisted that there was 'nothing malicious' about the play, which she deemed a 'good take foul.'
