It is guaranteed that any confrontation between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese generates a ton of attention. The two stars gave us one of the most exciting female university basketball championship games in recent memory, and its rivalry of the WNBA already has an intense beginning.
Clark’s Indiana Fever and Reese’s Chicago Sky with the first game of the WNBA season on Saturday afternoon in 2025. While the fever ran to a great advantage, the two stars became entangled in the third quarter, which led to a flagrant called to Clark while trying to end Reese.
The referees originally called a common lack of Clark. After the review, Clark received a flagrant-one, which Meante Reese obtained two free throws and Chicago obtained possession. Reese and Fever Big Aliyah Boston received technical faults after the review, which were out of hair removal. Look at the work here.
Reese immediately shot the floor and tried to get into Clark’s face, but the fever star moved away. Clark let out his own frustrated reaction after the referees decided that it was a flagrant fault.
Here is another look:
Reese did not appreciate the fault.
The ABC Transmission team of Rebecca Lobo and Ryan Ruocco said the referees received the call correctly when discarding a flagrant foul on Clark. It seemed that Clark wrapped her legal at the beginning, but there was a slight push in the end that constituted a flagrant. WNBA referees do not like to call many flagrant offenses, but they were right to call this. The intensity in the court was resolved a little after the call.
This is the second flagrant foul between Clark and Reese, their WNBA races. Last season, Reese was called by a flagrant foul on Clark after listening to her in the head in a tray attempt.
The fever gets used to a victory in heaven. Indiana looked excellent in the first game of the season. The sky has a long way to go. Each confrontation between Clark and Reese remains unmissable television.
