Caitlin Clark Hit With Cheap Shot As Angel Reese Cheers: ‘That’s Just Not A Basketball Play’

Caitlin Clark was hit with a cheap shot during a Saturday Women’s basketball game while her controversial rival Angel Reese cheered on the aggressive move.

During a WNBA game on Saturday, Clark along with the Indiana Fever faced off against Angel Reese who played for the Chicago Sky. Clark and the Fever went on to defeat Reese in their first time facing off in the WNBA since their college matchups.

However, a controversial foul late into the third quarter of the game caused some controversy on social media. After Sky guard Chennedy Carter completed a shot, she moved to guard Clark as she was receiving a pass.

Carter then delivered a rough shoulder check to Clark, knocking her to the ground. The referees then called out Carter for the foul and Clark was allowed to shoot from the free throw line.

Reese could be seen cheering Carter on right after she delivered the brutal knockdown to Clark.

Following the moment, Clark spoke with reporters once the quarter ended noting that the move by Carter was not a “basketball 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.”

Carter refused to address the controversy after the game was over when asked by reporters, adding “I ain’t answering any Cailtin Clark questions.”
