Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had was all business following a flagrant foul from Caitlin Clark in their WNBA season-opener.
“Basketball play. Refs got it right. Move on,” Reese told the media after Chicago’s Saturday matchup against the Indiana Fever.
If you’re wondering what might elicit such an efficient response from Reese, let me explain how we got here. In the third quarter, Reese pushed Fever forward Natasha Howard, trying to secure a rebound. She was soon fouled by Clark after she secured the ball. Clark stepped up, went across Reese’s body for a foul, and pushed her to the ground.
Shortly after, Clark started to walk away, but Reese got up and gave her an earful. Fever center Aliyah Boston had to step in to hold Reese back. Eventually, Clark was assessed a flagrant one foul, and Boston and Reese each earned technical fouls.
“Let’s not make it anything that it’s not,” Clark added postgame. It was just a good play on the basketball. I’m not sure what the refs saw to upgrade it. That’s up to their discretion … I wasn’t trying to do anything malicious. That’s not the type of player I am.”
Both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have moved on from the foul. Everybody else can go ahead and do the same.
