Former NFL star Robert Griffin III has weighed in on the heated spat between Indiana Fever players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese during their game against the Chicago Sky. Griffin wrote that he knows what hatred looks like, stating that his take on the situation is not about basketball rivalry but actual dislike from Reese towards Clark.
Clark downplayed the incident after scoring her third career triple-double, saying she was just making a “good play” on the ball and denying any malicious intent behind the foul. Reese also described it as a “basketball play.” However, crew chief Roy Gulbeyan deemed it a flagrant foul due to Clark’s extension of her left hand.
Griffin’s statement suggests that he believes Reese is hiding the truth about their long-standing feud. The two players have a history dating back to their 2023 NCAA women’s basketball national championship game. Despite both players downplaying the incident, Griffin’s comments added fuel to the fire, highlighting the intense rivalry between these two top WNBA players.
