Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter's foul on Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark during their game on June 1, 2024, has been upgraded to a Flagrant 1 violation after a review by the WNBA. The incident occurred at the end of the third quarter when Carter shoved Clark, leading to the initial assessment of a common foul. The league's review resulted in the upgrade, but Carter will not face suspension or a fine. The Indiana Fever won the game 71-70.

Additionally, the WNBA fined Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese for failing to make herself available to the media after the game.
