Shock Move: Eastern Conference Giant Eyes LeBron James Signing!
LeBron James is anticipated to decline his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers for next season, allowing other teams to pursue him as a free agency in the near future. One Eastern Conference contender has been mentioned repeatedly as a possible suitor for the four-time NBA MVP. Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer repeated on Sunday that the Philadelphia 76ers are looking to recruit a third star player to join Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. James was mentioned as a target.
The Sixers have more than $60 million in salary cap room, which allows them to add a max player. They may need to use some of that money to sign Maxey to an extension, though. There has been no clear evidence that LeBron is considering leaving the Lakers. However, the fact that his son Bronny is entering the NBA may complicate the matter. If LeBron decides to prioritise playing with Bronny, the 76ers are reportedly eager to draft the younger James in order to pursue LeBron. The 76ers are thought to see another player as an ideal match for their present roster, but they are keeping all options open.
Chennedy Carter was not given a flagrant charge for her cheap shot on Caitlin Clark during Saturday night’s game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, but the WNBA has already reversed the decision. Clark was taken down by Carter late in the third quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 71-70 victory over Carter’s Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Carter’s hip-check to Clark was a non-basketball move, therefore many were surprised no flagrant penalty was issued.
Referees reviewed the play and upheld the call of a common foul. However, on Sunday, the WNBA stated that Carter’s penalty had been increased to a Flagrant 1 after the league reviewed the action.
You have to wonder if the WNBA considered the popular reaction. During the game, Carter clearly targeted Clark and blasted a shoulder at the former Iowa star. Carter even appeared to call Clark a “b-ch” right before making contact. In addition to Carter receiving a Flagrant 1, Chicago rookie Angel Reese has been fined $1,000 for failing to speak with the media following the game. Reese, a former LSU player who had a bitter rivalry with Clark in college, had a remarkable reaction to Clark’s knockdown but declined to answer questions about the incident after the game.
Chennedy Carter declined to comment on the concerns she had with Caitlin Clark on Saturday night, but her social media behaviour appeared to convey a clear message. Carter pushed Clark to the ground after a non-basketball play late in her Chicago Sky’s 71-70 loss to the Indiana Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Carter’s forceful bump, which resulted in a common foul but was not raised to a flagrant, was preceded by trash talk between the two.
We don’t know what Carter and Clark said to each other before Carter fouled Clark and appeared to call him a “b-ch.” It seems safe to presume that Carter believes her actions were justifiable. She also declined to address questions about Clark following the game. Carter led the Sky with 19 points in 30 minutes of play. Clark only got 11 points and was 2 for 9 from three-point range, but her team won.
