The WNBA is investigating alleged racist comments from a fan or multiple fans directed toward Angel Reese during the Sky’s game against the Fever on Saturday, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Post.
“The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society,” the league said in a statement Sunday. “We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter.”
It’s unclear when the alleged comments occurred during the Fever’s 93-58 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, but tempers did flare between Reese and Caitlin Clark — rivals dating back to their time at LSU and Iowa, respectively — in the third quarter after Reese grabbed an offensive rebound and Clark proceeded to commit a hard foul to prevent a shot.
Reese tumbled to the court following the foul, but she quickly jumped back up and headed toward Clark.
Teammates stepped in to prevent the scuffle from escalating, while Clark, who received a flagrant foul, headed back toward the Fever bench.
