There’s no love lost between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
Reese and Clark were bitter rivals in college, especially after going at it in the national championship game last year.
On Saturday afternoon, Reese and Clark met in the WNBA for the first time, and an incident during the game made Clark fans angry.
Late in the third quarter of the Sky-Fever game, Chennedy Carter laid out Clark out of nowhere with a cheap shot foul after the Sky scored a bucket.

After the game, Clark called out Carter for the dirty play.
“Yeah, that’s just not a basketball play,” Clark said. “But you know I’ve gotta play through it, that’s what basketball is about at this level. I thought we’ve been really physical, we’ve missed some bunnies around the rim, so hopefully those fall in the fourth.”
Fans on social media noticed that Reese got out of her seat and began cheering after Carter blindsided Clark.
