Tempers flare between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in WNBA opener as Chicago Sky star is held back from rival

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese didn't need long to reignite their bitter rivalry after going at it on the court during a fiery WNBA season opener.

Tempers flared between the two women's basketball superstars when Reese took exception to Clark's hard foul with 4:38 left in the third quarter as the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky got their 2025 campaigns up and running.

After Reese grabbed an offensive rebound, Clark slapped the Sky forward across the arm, knocking the ball away and her arch-nemesis to the floor.

Angel, who was visibly furious, quickly jumped up and confronted Caitlin as Fever center Aliyah Boston jumped in between the two players.

Following a replay review, the referees upgraded the foul to a flagrant one and called double technical fouls on Boston and Reese. It was Clark's third personal foul.

During an in-game interview with ESPN, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year said there was 'nothing malicious' about the foul and called it a basketball play.

Basketball court...Church service...Wedding...Family reunion...Graduation ceremony...Family barbecue...NYC subway...

All of these are where these people go crazy and beat and kill others...

Truly, we now have the U.S. transformed into an aborigine’s jungle...

I was never a sports fan, but I used to watch basketball games every so often. I stopped watching them when I saw all the fake drama over fouls. It was cringe-inducing to watch athletic grown men act like a little bump on the arm would literally floor them.

In that case you’d REALLY like soccer...

My favorite blast DEI the past is when she makes an open layup and then flops on the court, no one near her.

Was really hoping they would strike this season, and wonder why no one notices😂

I say good for Clark. Reese is a spoiled brat and beat up on Clark throughout their first season and never fought back. It’s about time the public sees Reese for what she is: A mediocre, jealous, angry black lady with less than half the basketball talent of Clark.

Maybe Clark is realizing that she needs to take control, or she will always be the white bi**c.

But really…if there is a fight in a WNBA game, does it make a sound?

Notice how it’s being forced fed to the public? Few care about women’s basketball.

If you go to the ESPN website, they make it seem that it’s all that anyone cares about.
