Caitlin Clark’s rivalry with Angel Reese reached new heights when both WNBA stars engaged in a heated exchange during Saturday’s game between their teams, despite Clark not playing. The Indiana Fever star was caught on camera doing the travel gesture after Reese committed a foul near her seat.
Reese, who is still rehabbing a quad injury, had four points in 27 minutes of play and a plus-minus of -20. Clark is expected to return from her injury soon, but the Fever still secured a 79-52 road victory over the Chicago Sky without her.
The two players have a long history of tension, which came to a head after Reese was knocked down by Clark in their first game this season. The WNBA launched a racism investigation into the incident, but ultimately found no wrongdoing and cleared Indiana’s fans.
Both players condemned the behavior, with Clark saying “there’s no place for that in our game or society.” Reese added that she felt supported by her team and organization, which has been vocal in condemning the racist behavior. The rivalry between Clark and Reese is set to continue when both teams face off again in the near future.
