Chennedy Carter had something to say on Wednesday.
The Chicago Sky guard addressed ESPN’s rankings of the WNBA’s 25 best players, which had her ranked 24th in the league, in an Instagram story. Carter expressed clear disagreement with her placement on the list.
“How I average less minutes and my stats top in the league? But I am at the BOTTOM this isn’t adding up, the hate be so obvious,” she wrote. “F/G (field goal) percentage as well.”
The list had Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson ranked at the top of the list with the New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart coming in second. Meanwhile, Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark, who Carter aggressively knocked to the ground in a game in early June and has criticized online since, ranked 15th.
Carter is correct in that she averages fewer minutes per game than many of her peers above her on the list, including Clark. Carter has averaged just 25.1 minutes per game, which is the fewest of any player in the WNBA’s top 33 players in points per game this year and fewer than any player higher than her on the list.
Despite just 25.1 minutes per contest, Carter has averaged 17.2 points per game – 0.1 points more than Clark. Carter’s 51.8 field goal percentage is also the sixth best of any player on ESPN’s list.
Only Wilson, Dearica Hamby and Nneka Ogwumike are scoring at a more efficient rate among players in the top 12 in points per game.
CAITLIN CLARK’S PLAY MAY HAVE WARRANTED OLYMPICS ROSTER SPOT AFTER ALL, COACH DAWN STALEY SAYS
But Carter has also put herself at the center of controversy ever since her infamous hip-check on Clark on June 1 that sent the rookie star falling to the floor. Carter then refused to answer for the incident at the postgame press conference but used her social media to repeatedly lambaste Clark.
Carter liked posts that said the Fever had nobody defending Clark on the floor and suggesting that 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.
Carter event went so far as to diminish Clark’s basketball skills beyond 3-point shooting.
“That’s that on that cause beside 3-point shooting what does she bring to the table man,” Carter wrote in reply to a post about her postgame press conference on Threads.
