WNBA Clears Air on Angel Reese Hateful Comments Claim After Caitlin Clark Foul

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.
