Chennedy Carter makes her feelings clear on former teammate Angel Reese

Earlier this month, Angel Reese's former teammate Chennedy Carter made a comment that she later said was taken out of context. Carter posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), alluding to a player's ability to make layups.

"i think the ability to consistently make layups just puts anyone in a different tier ! so important to score easy !" Carter wrote in her post.

However, the fans took her statement out of context. Some wrote that Carter was shading Reese, which Carter said wasn't about her former teammate. Chennedy Carter, who plays in the Chinese league, said she loves Angel Reese's game and didn't like how things went on social media.

"Angel is a special player. I love watching her. This season, we had a great relationship and I don’t feel like the way things went on Twitter, it shouldn’t have went like that," Carter said.

Carter later also posted that the post was about her game and had nothing to do with anyone else.

"i just focus on me , that was literally abt me and how special of craft it is. not bothered at all by the spins. you telling me how you really feel tbh. had nothing to do with anyone but myself."

Chennedy Carter is a free agent after the Chicago Sky left her out of the core group. The team did not give her any qualifying offer on Jan. 13.
