Sky coach Teresea Weatherspoon said that Carter “got caught up in the heat of the moment in an effort to win the game” and that she understands there are better ways to handle situations on the court. During the Paris Olympics break last summer — a team she was not selected to play for and a decision that caused at lot controversy at the time, Clark told The New York Post, “I’m small but I try to holy my own the best I can. …I don’t know, I think I’m discreetly strong. I’m never gonna be the strongest person. I know that. I try to put on some weight, and I’ve been working hard in the weight room.” In her first WNBA season, Clark was named the 2024 Rookie of the Year after averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. Clarke’s new WNBA season begins on May 17 against the Chicago Sky.
