The WNBA is investigating allegations of “hateful” and racist comments targeting Chicago Sky star Angel Reese, according to multiple reports.
The incident occurred during the Sky-Indiana Fever game on Saturday, May 17 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where Reese and Fever phenom Caitlin Clark butted heads — and renewed discussion of their rivalry, which dates back to college.
During the third quarter, Clark went for the ball and slapped Reese’s arm in the process. The reigning Rookie of the Year was called for a flagrant 1 foul, but not before the former LSU standout tried to confront Clark.
