Chennedy Carter and the Chicago Sky were reportedly harassed upon arriving at the team hotel in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
A man confronted the team — specifically targeting Carter — as the Sky were coming off the bus before their game on Thursday against the Mystics, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The unidentified man had a camera, and he was escorted away by the Sky’s team security, general manager Jeff Pagliocca told the outlet.

Police were not called to the hotel and the situation was de-escalated quickly, the GM said.
Pagliocca also indicated that the man intended to talk to Carter, though it’s unknown what was said, and it’s unclear how he figured out which hotel the Sky were staying at.
The Sky travel with several security guards that stay with the players everywhere they go, the Sun-Times reported.
“It was over as fast as it started,” Pagliocca told the outlet. “I’m very confident in our security always making our players feel safe. Today was a great example of how critical they are to our team.”
The Sky and a person with Carter’s agency did not immediately respond to messages from The Post.
News of the incident first appeared on social media after several Sky players posted about it on X, though they did not identify Carter by name.
“Finding out our team’s hotel to pull up with a camera as we get off the bus and put it in my teammate’s face and harass her is nasty work,” Sky star Angel Reese said.
Chennedy Carter is seen checking Caitlin Clark to the ground.
“Thank god for security,” Sky forward Isabelle Harrison wrote. “My teammate being harassed at our hotel is insane. Couldn’t even step off the bus.”
Carter has found herself in the middle of an ongoing controversy after she committed a flagrant foul on Clark away from the ball in the Sky’s loss to the Fever on Saturday.
The play has generated plenty of punditry and has drawn debate about Carter over her actions during the play and response in the days after the game.

The physicality has also raised questions over whether Clark has been targeted by WNBA opponents over the star power she has brought to the league.
It has gone to the extent that an Indiana congressman wrote a letter to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert demanding answers over Clark’s treatment since joining the league.
“Chennedy Carter went out of her way to knock Clark to the floor while neither player had the ball. Further, the excessive attack was visibly cheered on and supported by Carter’s teammate Angel Reese,” Congressman Jim Banks (R, IN-3) wrote in the letter.
