Carter had Reese's back in a postgame press conference.
Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter was the star of Tuesday’s 93-85 win over the Las Vegas Aces as well as the star of the postgame press conference, when she shut down a reporter’s criticism of teammate Angel Reese.
Carter, who finished with 34 points in the victory, had no issues fielding questions about the game until one reporter began to talk negatively about Reese. “ had a rough first half,” the reporter started to say, referring to the Sky rookie’s 1-of-5 shooting for two points and one turnover.“Let me tell y’all something,” Carter said, cutting the reporter off. “Angel is somebody that works hard no matter what it’s looking like. I tell her as just one of her teammates and one of the closest people to her on this team, like, no matter what, I got your back.
Reese’s WNBA-record consecutive double-double streak ended on Saturday in the Sky’s 81-67 home loss to the New York Liberty. The Rookie of the Year candidate followed that up with an efficient outing on Tuesday in which she posted 13 points and 10 rebounds to log her 17th double-double on the year.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
