The Indiana Fever has issued a response following the WNBA’s announcement of an investigation into allegations of racist behavior toward Angel Reese.
The Fever played Reese’s Chicago Sky at home on Saturday, beating them soundly in what turned out to be a 93-58 blowout.
Over the past day, a third-quarter incident between Reese and Caitlin Clark has been front and center. However, the league has more serious concerns and released a statement on Sunday afternoon disclosing that allegations of racism were being investigated.
“The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society. We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter,” the statement read.
Chloe Peterson of the Indy Star reports that the announcement stems from claims of racial comments made by fans toward Reese.
“Sources with knowledge of the situation say this is related to allegations of racial comments directed at Sky forward Angel Reese by fan(s) in the crowd,” Peterson tweeted.
