Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky were fined for their behavior after their loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. The WNBA announced Reese would be fined $1,000 on Sunday (June 2), a day after their 70-71 loss. According to the league, Angel “[failed] to make herself available to the media for interviews.” The Chicago Sky organization was also hit with a $5,000 fine for not ensuring that all “players comply with WNBA media policies.”
This game also had more drama attached to it, as Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark squared off for the first time in the WNBA. But it was Reese’s teammate, Chennedy Carter, who wound up dominating headlines for her actions on the court. As Caitlin attempted to get the ball from teammate Aliyah Boston, Carter delivered a blow to Clark, sending her to the floor. After a timeout was called, Reese could be seen celebrating Carter’s foul against Clark.
The Texas native was asked about the incident during a postgame presser, to which Carter refused to discuss anything about Caitlin Clark, saying, “next question.” However, Carter later took to Instagram’s Threads app, where she responded to a fan examining the “postgame drama.” The 25-year-old asked the fan about Clark’s impact, stating, “That’s that on that because besides three-point shooting, what does [Clark] bring to the table, man?”
