Angel Reese smacks Caitlin Clark in the head after more fouls by her Chicago Sky teammates as Dave Portnoy hits out at their brutal treatment of WNBA’s No. 1 pick

Caitlin Clark was hit in the head by Angel Reese and subjected to harsher treatment by the Chicago Sky on Sunday, prompting Dave Portnoy to lash out at the WNBA team.

Clark and the Indiana Fever took on Chicago on Sunday for the first time since the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft was brutally checked by Chennedy Carter earlier this month.

The Fever won the first meeting at home 71-70 on June 1, but the game was overshadowed by Sky Guard Carter’s hip-check foul on Clark before an inbounds play.

It was ruled a regular foul, but was upgraded to a flagrant foul the day after the game.

But on Sunday, it didn’t take long for Clark to be targeted again by Reese, Carter and their Sky teammate Dana Evans.

As Clark drove to the basket in the first quarter, Evans put her arm through Clark’s and hooked and held her to stop her momentum.

But when Clark gestured to the referee for a foul, Evans threw her arm away from Clark and appeared to say something before smiling in the Fever star’s direction.

After the Reese foul, Portnoy posted: “Shocker. Angelo Reese and the Sky do Angel Reese and Sky things. By the way, Caitlin is cooking them.”

Then, in the third quarter, Clark jumped in front of the basket when Reese hit her in the side of the head.

The ball had clearly already gone past the former LSU player, who continued to hit Clark in the head with her forearm.

The body check earlier this month, and Carter’s lack of remorse for it, sparked several days of controversy on social media that divided fans and led to accusations of racism from both sides.

Before Sunday’s game, Carter said, “I’m just ready to play today’s game.

‘I don’t care what people say. I don’t care what they’re talking about. I’m locked up.’

Clark has strived to stay above the fray, but she recently made it clear that she did not want her name used to push political agendas. She also said Carter did not need to apologize for the offense.

“Basketball is competitive. I understand,” Clark said. ‘Sometimes your emotions get the better of you, that has happened to me several times in the course of my career. People are competitive.

“(Carter) is having a great season. She has played great basketball, probably tied for sixth player of the year in my opinion.”
