The WNBA said on Tuesday that it was unable to verify a claim of racist fan conduct towards Angel Reese. In a statement, the league stated:
“We have investigated the report of racist fan behavior in the vicinity of the court during the May 17, 2025, Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever game,”. “Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated it.
“The WNBA is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for everyone and will continue to be vigilant in enforcing our fan code of conduct.”
After Indiana’s Caitlin Clark fouled Chicago‘s Angel Reese in the third quarter of the teams’ season opening, the WNBA had been looking into what it described as “hateful fan comments” that were allegedly made. Reese protested, and the foul was increased to a flagrant 1. After Reese attempted to confront Clark, and Boston intervened to keep the players apart, both Reese and Aliyah Boston of Indiana were given technical fouls.
