Chennedy Carter Waived by Sparks

Troubled Guard Moves to Find Third Team

Los Angeles Undoes Fisher Mistake

Chennedy Carter is on the market for her third team after being waived by the Los Angeles Sparks. Late in the third quarter of the Indiana Fevers' 71-70 win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday afternoon, Carter knocked down a jumper and then proceeded to shoulder check. The Sparks waived guard Chennedy Carter on Friday, undoing one of the residual mistakes from the Derek Fisher era.

After joining the team in a trade with the Atlanta Dream prior to last season, Carter was expected to be a key piece of the Sparks' rebuild. However, she struggled to find her footing in Los Angeles, averaging just 8.2 points per game in 24 games. She also missed time due to injuries and was suspended for one game after an altercation with a teammate.

The Sparks' decision to waive Carter is a sign that they are moving on from the Fisher era. Fisher was fired in May after a 5-13 start to the season. He was replaced by interim coach Fred Williams, who has led the Sparks to a 4-3 record.

Carter is now a free agent and will likely have several suitors. She is a talented scorer with a lot of potential, but she also comes with some baggage. It remains to be seen whether she can find a team that is willing to give her a chance.

Conclusion

Chennedy Carter's release from the Los Angeles Sparks is a reminder that even the most talented players can struggle to find their place in the WNBA. Carter is a talented scorer, but she has also had some off-court issues that have made it difficult for her to succeed. It remains to be seen whether she can find a team that is willing to give her a chance to prove herself.
