**WNBA Investigates Hateful Fan Comments During Fever-Sky Game; Caitlin Clark Voices Support**

INDIANAPOLIS – The WNBA is investigating allegations of hateful comments directed at Chicago Sky player Angel Reese during Saturday’s season opener against the Indiana Fever. The league’s probe comes after social media posts surfaced claiming that Reese was subjected to offensive remarks and noises from the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse following a third-quarter incident involving Reese and Fever guard Caitlin Clark.

During the game, Clark fouled Reese, preventing a layup. Reese reacted strongly, and both she and Fever player Aliyah Boston received technical fouls. Clark’s foul was later upgraded to a flagrant foul 1.

While no Fever players reported hearing anything specific from the sold-out crowd, they expressed support for the investigation.

“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,” Clark said. “Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience. I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that.”

Aliyah Boston emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum among fans. “No type of hate is ever welcomed here,” she stated. “We, as athletes, have to make sure that fans know it’s OK to be passionate, to cheer us on, to get loud. But at the end of the day, it’s about respect. If it was your daughter out on the court, you would want that respect being shown.”

Veteran Fever player DeWanna Bonner echoed this sentiment, stating that the team briefly discussed the situation and is unified in its stance. “We keep uplifting each other and speaking out on these things when that is needed. That’s not what we as players stand for, not what the Indiana Fever organization stands for. It’s zero tolerance.”

The Indiana Fever are set to play the Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday.
