The Sky forward spoke out on her flagrant foul on Clark in the third quarter.
It didn’t take long for Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese to field her first question about her foul on Caitlin Clark in Sunday’s postgame presser.. “I can’t control the refs. They affected the game obviously a lot today. I’m always going for the ball. Y’all are going to play that clip 20 times before Monday.”
Reese committed the flagrant foul while Clark was driving to the rim in the third quarter. The Sky rookie swung her arm and hit the back of Clark’s head, sending Clark sprawling to the floor. Reese was assessed a Flagrant 1 for “unnecessary” contact, per the WNBA’s rule book. A Flagrant 2 foul would be considered unnecessary as well as excessive.
Reese finished with a sixth-straight double-double while shooting 30.8% from the field. Clark finished with 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting, adding eight rebounds and nine assistsKristen Wong is a Staff Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
