Angel Reese could not snag the bragging rights from her first encounter with Caitlin Clark in the pros.

The former college stars lined up against each other on Saturday afternoon, with the Indiana Fever hosting the Chicago Sky.

Clark and the Fever would earn their first home win of the season after what’s been a tough start to the 2024 season, though the former Iowa star struggled offensively, scoring just 11 points on 4-of-11 from the floor and 2-of-9 from three.

She was also the victim of a vicious body check from Chennedy Carter, who decked her while she was awaiting an inbounds pass.

Check it out below:

Surprisingly, this was only deemed a common foul.

While Reese wasn’t involved in the play, she’s taking heat for being classless as she jumped off the bench to celebrate Carter’s nasty hit on Clark.

She also embraced her teammate while she walked to the Sky’s bench after the whistle blew to end the third quarter.

Fans went in on Angel Reese after seeing her actions after the foul.

“Yeah that was disgusting,” one wrote. “Then in the 4th  She also pushes CC to the ground, then chirps something. No call. It’s such poor sportsmanship I don’t get how everyone credits this as “toughness.”

“this is garbage,” another said. “wnba not doing anything about this is garbage.”

“LMAO angel can say all the politically correct S- she wants for the media she don’t like cc,” another pointed out.

“Insane the hate she gets for…. just bringing the league more fans? Why do the players hate her so much,” another comment read.

Reese also got away with her own cheap shot against Clark during the game, but the latter will be the happier of the two today.
