The two players have held the\u00a0WNBA\u00a0spotlight after being involved in a physical encounter on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Clark and Carter blew up social media after Carter hit Clark from the back, causing her to fall to the floor, and Carter taunted the rookie. The\u00a0Indiana Fever\u00a0rookie clearly garners more fandom than the\u00a0Chicago Sky\u00a0guard. This led to an unusual debate online that led to Carter\u2019s WNBA salary resurfacing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GPF6v8zXAAE24s9?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Carter signed with the Sky in 2024 and is reportedly making an average annual salary of $64,154.
