In a city where one of its great sports legends was as famous for biting his opponents as tackling them, Chicago fans saluted one of their own Tuesday as Chennedy Carter took the floor with the Chicago Sky.

Carter had been at the center of controversy after whacking Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark to the floor last Saturday.

But on Tuesday, the city where Chicago Bears linebacker Dick Butkus was loved for dealing out punishment to anyone playing the Bears recognized Carter for her hit on Clark with a standing ovation.
