It would be fair to say that last Saturday’s game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever caused quite a stir.
From the heavy foul that the Fever’s Caitlin Clark received to the war of words that has since ensued because of it, there’s been a lot to unpack, not the least of which is Angel Reese’s latest comments.
By now you would have seen our report about the hard hit that the Chicago Sky’s Carter bestowed on the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark.
You would have also seen our report about teammate Angel Reese and her apparent endorsement of Carter’s foul which was in turn followed by a fine for both herself and the Sky after she refused to speak with the media following the game.
This brings us to Reese’s comments on Monday, when she explained that she is in fact happy to “take the bad guy role” if it results in continued growth for the women’s game.
Reese was of course seen clapping and hugging Carter after she gave Clark a body check during the third quarter of a game that the Fever won narrowly 71-70.
Understandably, there was widespread debate on social media regarding Reese’s reaction but it’s something that the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 Draft doesn’t seem to be bothered by.
