WNBA finds no evidence of hateful comments toward Angel Reese after Caitlin Clark foul, sparking debate on fan behavior.
In a whirlwind of controversy that could rival a reality TV showdown, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese faced no questions about the WNBA’s recent investigation into alleged hateful comments directed at her during Tuesday’s postgame press conference after a 94-89 loss to the Phoenix Mercury. The league’s probe, sparked by a foul from Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark in their May 17 season opener, found no evidence to back claims of racist fan behavior. Despite the WNBA’s statement emphasizing a safe and inclusive environment, Reese stayed mum on the topic during the presser, leaving the issue hanging like an unresolved plot twist.
Earlier this month, Reese dodged specifics when asked if she provided details to the league, brushing it off with a cryptic, “that’s not a me question.” Yet, she previously claimed widespread support from the WNBA, hinting at the gravity of the alleged incident. The Sky star has also pointed fingers at Clark’s fanbase, accusing them of racism and even sending AI-generated explicit images to her family—a claim as shocking as it is unverified. While Reese insists there’s “no place in this league” for such behavior, the lack of substantiated evidence leaves this saga more questions than answers.

This WNBA drama is like a basketball game with no shot clock—endless back-and-forth but no clear winner. Reese’s claims of rogue fans and AI mischief sound like a sci-fi thriller, but the league’s investigation slammed the brakes. Maybe the real foul here is expecting fans to behave like they’re at a chess match instead of a heated rivalry!
