INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever players spoke Monday after practice about the WNBA investigating allegations of “hateful fan comments” toward Chicago Sky player Angel Reese during Saturday’s season opener for the teams.
No one on the Fever said they heard anything specific from the sellout crowd during Indiana’s 93-58 victory. But they added that they understood the need for an investigation.
“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,” Fever guard Caitlin Clark said. “Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience. I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that.”
Social media posts during Saturday’s game said hateful remarks or noises were made toward Reese after a third-quarter incident involving her and Clark. Clark fouled Reese to prevent an open layup attempt. Reese objected to the foul and tried to confront Clark, but Indiana’s Aliyah Boston kept the players apart.
