Angel Reese ratcheted up her feud with Caitlin Clark on Tuesday as she re-posted a TikTok trolling her 'white girl' rival. The pair clashed over the weekend, as Clark was assessed a flagrant foul for slapping across Reese's arm and ultimately sending her to the ground. An incensed Reese then beelined for Clark when she got up before others intervened to keep them separated. And while Reese later said the foul from Clark was a 'basketball play,' she's evidently still thinking about the moment, as she re-posted a video insulting Clark.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark says it was too loud inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse for her to hear racial comments from fans directed at Angel Reese during Saturday’s season-opening 93-58 victory over the Chicago Sky and that she supports the WNBA’s investigation. A person familiar with the situation confirmed the details to The Associated Press on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the league had not publicly identified the subject of the taunts or who made the allegations. Reese, who is Black, and Clark, who is white, met for the seventh time in their ongoing — and much-talked-about — rivalry. Clark...

What had been hailed as a potentially Hall of Fame career was cut short at the start of just its second season, as WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark was indicted for murder after fouling Angel Reese. The incident occurred during a game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky, with Clark, who has been violently and mercilessly fouled an estimated eight trillion times in the past year, fouling Reese. Although Reese survived and was unharmed, it was announced immediately following the game that Clark had been indicted for her murder. "The game of basketball is no place for this level...

At first, it seemed that the Indiana Fever’s home win over Chicago Sky on Saturday would be just another spicy chapter in the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Both players were typically excellent: Clark spurred the Fever to victory with a triple-double, while Reese grabbed 17 rebounds to go with her 12 points. But it was a moment in the third quarter that WNBA fans will be talking about for weeks to come. Some of them may even do so without resorting to cheap bigotry. With 4:38 remaining, Clark reached for the ball over Reese’s head, made what...

The WNBA has launched a racism investigation a day after Angel Reese got into an on-court altercation with Caitlin Clark during the league's showpiece opening-weekend game between the Fever and the Sky. The league announced the investigation on Sunday with its statement pointing to the Indiana-Chicago game as where the incident took place. The racist incident in question did directly have to do with Reese but did not have anything to do with Clark's hard foul on Reese and the responding heated matter, per the Indianapolis Star. Instead, it's Fever fans in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd who are the target...

The WNBA has launched a racism investigation a day after Angel Reese got into an on-court altercation with Caitlin Clark during the opening-weekend game between the Fever and the Sky. The league announced the investigation on Sunday with its statement pointing to the Indiana-Chicago game as where the incident took place.

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...

Two of the WNBA's best young stars had to be separated during the second half of Saturday afternoon's season-opening contest between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. Following a hard foul from Caitlin Clark on a layup that found Angel Reese on the ground, the Sky forward quickly jolted herself up off the floor and went after the Fever guard. She was held back by teammates—and a referee—as Clark walked away from the scuffle. Here's a look at both the play and the resulting drama: Clark was assessed a flagrant foul on the play, while both Reese and Clark's...

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was on the receiving end of some brutal treatment by the Washington Mystics in the first preseason game of her WNBA season. The Fever played without star Caitlin Clark, who was absent due to a minor injury that was described as 'a little tightness' in her left leg. So it was Cunningham that led the way for Indiana. However, she didn't do so without a bit of bruising. In the second quarter, Cunningham was fighting for a rebound with Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen. Iriafen had her arm wrapped around Cunningham's torso and then flung her...

Caitlin Clark has maintained that she benefits from 'white privilege' amid her WNBA success, despite previously suffering severe backlash to her previous comments on the issue. The Indiana Fever star first addressed the topic of race in the WNBA in December when she was named TIME Magazine's Athlete of the Year, acknowledging the 'white privilege' that fell her way as she entered the league and drove up the interest levels. The 23-year-old faced criticism over her comments at the time but that hasn't deterred her as she doubled down on the stance in her episode on David Letterman's Netflix show,...

Diana Taurasi is eating her words. After telling the world that “reality is coming” for Caitlin Clark when she was entering the WNBA after her legendary collegiate career at Iowa, the now-retired Taurasi is walking back those comments. “Thank you, unfortunately, reality is coming to me now,” Taurasi said in response to Clark congratulating her on retirement on the “Bird & Taurasi Show” broadcast during Sunday’s NCAA national championship game. Caitlin Clark proved a lot of people wrong in her first WNBA season — and Taurasi was one of them. “Reality is coming [for Clark]. There’s levels to this thing,”...

Former ESPN talker Jemele Hill denies that Caitlin Clark is facing attacks by others in the WNBA and claims that the constant physical jostling she suffers is “just competition.” Clark has been a target for hard fouls since she joined the WNBA last year, and many of her fans accuse the league of punishing Clark for the crime of basketballing while white. However, many WNBA apologists, such as Hill, claim that people are overreacting to the constant stream of fouls on the court and verbal attacks off the court, and they say that the league is just becoming more “competitive.”...

Breaking records has become as routine as free throws for Caitlin Clark. The star Indiana Fever guard and face of the WNBA is just two games into her second season, but is already seeing more records fall with her instantly strong performance to start off the season. Clark opened up the season in midseason form with a 20-point, 10-assist, 10-rebound triple-double in a dominant 93-58 win over the Chicago Sky. Then, in her second game of the year, Clark once again filled up the stat sheet on her way to breaking a record. Against the Atlanta Dream, which saw the...
