Fever and Sky met on opening weekend of WNBACaitlin Clark called for foul on Angel Reese during game
The WNBA says it is looking into allegations of “hateful fan comments” during Indiana Fever’s fiery win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday.
Indiana eased to a 93-58 victory in their season opener against Chicago but the main storyline came when Fever star Caitlin Clark was called for a flagrant-1 foul on her longtime rival Angel Reese, which led to a brief confrontation between the players. The pair’s rivalry started in college and has continued into the WNBA. Clark is white and Reese is Black, and there has been racist and misogynistic abuse online around their relationship.
