Voepel began covering women's basketball in 1984, and has been with ESPN since 1996."Physical play, intensity, and a competitive spirit are hallmarks of Chicago Sky basketball," Weatherspoon said in a statement released Monday."Chennedy got caught up in the heat of the moment in an effort to win the game.
The play was not reviewed by game officials and was called an away-from-the-ball common foul, but the WNBA on Sunday upgraded it to a flagrant 1 after a league review. After the game, Carter didn't answer questions about the incident with Clark, but made posts about it on social media. "We sent video in last year. We were making our complaints to try to figure out to help AB. Then the same this year with Caitlin. It's the same thing. We're gonna continue to fight to try to get the calls; they see one thing and we see another."
