The on-court rivalry between star rookies Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark continues to heat up. The Indiana Fever hosted the Chicago Sky on Sunday, marking the second time the teams have faced off this season. Clark drove to the basket with less than three minutes remaining in the third quarter. But as Clark attempted to make a layup, she was whacked in the head by Reese.
Referees then reviewed the play and assessed with a Flagrant 1. Reese's foul comes on the heels of a controversial hard foul in the first matchup of the season between the Sky and Fever. Sky guard Chennedy Carter made a basket late in the third quarter. She then shifted to defense and began guarding Clark, who was attempting to get open to receive an inbound pass. The level of physicality Caitlin Clark has faced during the first handful of games of her rookie WNBA season has been a hot topic.
