Angel Reese has broken her silence following Saturday’s highly talked about cheap shot Caitlin Clark took from Reese’s Chicago Sky teammate Chennedy Carter.
“Just looking at that, I’ll take that role. I’ll take the bad guy role and I’ll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates. … I’ll look back in 20 years and be like, ‘The reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person. It’s because of me, too.’ I want y’all to realize that.”
Reese’s comments come in response to recent attention and comments from those of the Indiana Fever organization, including Clark, believing opponents have defended Clark more physically than any other player in the WNBA.
The most recent example of this occurred during the Fever-Sky game on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse where Carter pushed Clark down to the floor from behind with a cheap shot along the baseline late in the third quarter. Carter was originally assessed a common away from the ball foul but it was later upgraded to a Flagrant 1 foul by the WNBA on Sunday.
There’s also a different angle of the foul, where Reese stands up from the Sky bench and is clapping. Later in the game, Clark appeared to fall to the ground after making contact with Reese while in transition but it remains unclear if it was an intentional cheap shot or not from the “Bayou Barbie.”
Reese was fined $1,000 by the WNBA on Sunday for not making herself available to the media in Indianapolis following the Sky’s 71-70 loss to the Fever on Saturday.
Through seven games with Chicago, Reese is averaging 10.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists. The Sky host the New York Liberty on Tuesday at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
