Chennedy Carter, who earned WNBA villain status after her hip-check of Caitlin Clark on Saturday, once tried to fight a teammate.

During a 2021 game between Carter’s Atlanta Dream and the Las Vegas Aces, teammate Courtney Williams approached Carter and “told her to improve her attitude,” per thenexthoops.com.

That suggestion led to an argument, and Carter did not play in the second quarter. The then-second-year player ultimately stayed in the locker room for the entire second half.

Following the game, Carter, reportedly upset about her playing time and Atlanta’s struggles, approached Williams, who rebuffed her, saying she did not want to hear about playing time.

That’s when Carter “made noises about wanting to fight her teammate,” per the outlet.

Williams, now with the Minnesota Lynx, did not share that sentiment and removed herself from the situation, preventing a physical altercation.

The Dream then suspended Carter for “conduct detrimental to the team.”

Carter, the No. 4 pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft, didn’t fare much better her next stop with the Los Angeles Sparks.

She was benched for “poor conduct,” according to the Los Angeles Times, and released after one season.

Carter was described as a “mistake” of Derek Fisher, the one-time Knicks coach who was fired mid-season.

She played in Turkey in 2023 season before returning to the WNBA and the Sky, now finding herself in a highly-publicized controversy.

On in an inbounds play, Carter, now with the Chicago Sky, hip-checked Clark to the ground, earning a foul that has since been upgraded to a Flagrant 1 violation.

While she did not answer questions about the hit after the game, Carter slammed Clark for the second time on social media.

” … beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table man,” Carter wrote on Threads.

Her coach, Teresa Weatherspoon, has since called the foul “not appropriate.”
