The WNBA has issued a statement following allegations stemming from the Indiana Fever’s season-opening showdown vs. the Chicago Sky. Angel Reese and the Sky got off to the worst possible start, getting blown out 93-58 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday after going 2-1 in preseason.
The game produced an ugly incident between Reese and rival Caitlin Clark that resulted in a flagrant foul on Clark, as well as technicals for Reese and Aliyah Boston, following a hard foul by the Fever guard that knocked the former LSU star to the floor and prompted a violent reaction.

The WNBA has since announced that it is carrying out an investigation, though it has nothing to do with the incident.
“The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society. We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter,” the league said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.
