In 2021, she was suspended by the Atlanta Dream for “conduct detrimental to the team” following a heated argument. This led to her trade to the Los Angeles Sparks, but she faced similar issues, eventually being waived by the team.

The Sky signed Carter for the 2024 season, under head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. One of the most controversial moments of Carter’s WNBA career occurred during a game between the Sky and the Indiana Fever.
After scoring, Carter delivered a hard shoulder check to Caitlin Clark, sending her to the floor. The incident led to a flagrant foul being called on Carter.
The Sky, under new management, opted not to extend a qualifying offer to Carter, citing the need for changes in team chemistry.

Recently, Carter defended her actions, explaining that it was a competitive play and not a personal attack. A user on X shared a clip of her statement.
Carter’s time in China, however, has given her a fresh opportunity to prove herself on the international stage.
Her fate in the WCBA stands in sharp contrast to the struggles she faced in the US, offering her a new chapter to rewrite her career.
