Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark's rivalry once again got the spotlight after a heated exchange between them.
According to Sportskeeda, the Chicago Sky forward and Indiana Fever star's heated argument during the (Women's National Basketball Association) WNBA's season opener on Saturday, May 17, 2025 , sparked a response from Robert Griffin III.
A former NFL (National Football League) player bluntly called out Reese for “hating” Clark and lying about her feelings for Fever sensation.
Griffin III said, “After watching Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the aftermath, there is no way Angel Reese can continue the lie that she doesn’t dislike Caitlin Clark. I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate.”
What happened during the Chicago Sky vs Indiana Fever clash?
Clark, during the third quarter, committed a strong foul against Reese, sending her to the floor. Following that, the American basketball player immediately got up and confronted Indiana Fever star face-to-face.
Although Clark did not engage in a fight and calmly walked away from Reese without saying anything, later the foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 1, a type of penalty for unnecessary contact.
However, the Indiana Fever easily defeated the Chicago Sky 93-58.
Notably, Reese and Clark have admitted to their basketball rivalry on multiple occasions, but despite multiple contentious encounters, both of the players have always claimed that they did not have personal grudges against each other.
