During the Sky’s game against the Indiana Fever last year, Carter infamously clashed with teammate Angel Reese’s long-time rival Caitlin Clark.
Carter bodychecked the rising superstar to the ground, appearing to yell “yo b****”.
Despite the guard having been an important player for Chicago last season, general manager Jeff Pagliocca is said to have opted against attempting to renew her contract.
Pagliocca has made offers to restricted free agent trio Dana Evans, Michaela Onyenwere and Nikolina Milic, however.

Last August, Carter passionately endorsed Reese’s Rookie of the Year case.
She said, “Barbie’s Rookie of the Year. There’s no other way to put it.
“She goes out, she does her work every single night, no matter what team we’re facing. I’m telling you, Barbie’s Rookie of the Year, for sure.”
Reese’s ROTY case was struck by a nasty wrist injury suffered against the Los Angeles Sparks.

Her wrist fracture caused her to miss the last six games of the season, with Clark going on to win ROTY with 66 of 67 votes, Reese receiving the other.
With a 13-27 record, the Sky missed the playoffs.
This is a modal window.
