Chennedy Carter's hard foul on Caitlin Clark in the third quarter of the Indiana Fever's game against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday has sparked a lot of discussion on social media.

Carter was ejected from the game after the foul, and she later declined to answer questions about it in her postgame press conference.

"I ain't answering no Caitlin Clark questions," Carter said.

Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft, has been a target of opposing players since she entered the league.

In her first season, Clark was elbowed in the face by Chicago Sky forward Azura Stevens, and she was also the victim of a hard foul by New York Liberty forward Natasha Howard.

WNBA Twitter has called for the Indiana Fever to do more to protect Clark after Carter's shove.

Some fans have even suggested that the Fever should trade Carter if they are not willing to protect their star player.

The Fever have not yet commented on the situation, but it is clear that Carter's foul has sparked a lot of discussion about the need to protect young players in the WNBA.
