Caitlin Clark’s Former Teammate Explains the Controversy Surrounding Angel Reese

Regarding a catastrophic scenario involving Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark‘s former teammate has attempted to correct the record. When Kate Martin and Reese faced off at Unrivaled in January, Martin allegedly truly infuriated the Chicago Sky star with a particularly brutal challenge.

According to accounts, Reese wanted Martin expelled from the league for her challenge. Martin was Clark’s colleague during her time as an Iowa Hawkeye.

On social media, a post went viral that said:  “SHOCKING: Angel Reese calls for the league to kick out Kate Martin after the former Iowa star sent her ‘Back to the Bayou’ in intense matchup in unrivaled debut.”

Women’s basketball enthusiast @recruit.the.hood, who has a significant internet following, spread the story without conducting adequate research, despite the fact that the claim was wholly false.

Martin addressed the matter:  “Hey man, that post about Angel wanting me out of Unrivaled is untrue. I try to stay out of social media BS but I couldn’t let that one slide. I don’t like misinformation like that out there,”

Then, on Instagram, @recruit.the.hood posted a lengthy statement expressing regret for the entire incident. The statement started off like this: “i feel like such an idiot… i want to apologize to @angelreese5 because i criticized her the other day thinking that she wanted Kate out of the league… and kate sent me this message today and i just felt so bad,”

“i try to post things that are factual but in this case i missed… nobodys fault but mine… and the crazy part is most of my followers know that im such a big angel fan… love angel reese and all you have to do is scroll down back on my page and from the start of my page (2021) i supported her and showcased her amazing basketball talent from the start.”

“imagine the information being spread about her from people who genuinely hate her? thats the scary part… and i fell for it.

“i def promise to do better in the future and make sure im 100% certain of things before i post them… i feel awful but i would never post anything for clicks and views… honestly im thrilled to death when just one person likes my post… i know my real followers will know that, but tonight im just feeling so bad that i was dumb enough to fall for mis-info.”
