he WNBA has taken action against Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese over her conduct after Saturday’s game against the Indiana Fever.
Reese and college rival Caitlin Clark met for the first time in the pros, but their first WNBA clash was overshadowed by an incident between Angel’s teammate, Chennedy Carter, and the former Iowa star.
Carter hit Clark with a vicious shoulder barge, which was deemed a common foul during the game but has since been upgraded to a flagrant-1 by the WNBA.
The Sky shooting guard refused to answer questions about Clark or the foul while speaking to reporters after the Fever won 71-70.
“I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions,” she said.
