It was the first time Reese and Clark had faced one another.
During Saturday’s 71-70 defeat to the Indiana Fever, rookie Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky faced backlash on social media following an altercation between her teammate Chennedy Carter and Caitlin Clark.
Carter gave Clark a powerful hip-check during the third quarter of play. The ESPN broadcast showed Reese stepping off the bench and seemingly encouraging Carter as the whistle blew. As the quarter came to a conclusion, she was likewise the first to welcome the seasoned player.
