Angel Reese insisted all she did Sunday was make a basketball play against Caitlin Clark.
The former Iowa star agreed with her college rival.
But that isn’t likely to defuse what happens next.
After the Indiana Fever rookie wound up on the ground courtesy of Reese’s right elbow striking Clark’s head on a drive to the basket, the referees used replay review to upgrade the foul call to a flagrant-1 and almost assuredly setting off yet another debate about the contact Clark seems to be facing each game.
“I can’t control the refs and they affected the game, obviously, a lot tonight”, Reese said after finishing with 11 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and five fouls in the Chicago Sky’s 91-83 loss at Indiana . “Y’all are probably going to play that clip like 20 times before Monday.”
Naturally, it didn’t take long for the highlight to start making the social media rounds.
But regardless of whether the elbow was intentional, the result was the same – Clark taking a head shot most sports leagues want to prevent.
