During Sunday afternoon’s game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, Sky rookie Angel Reese caused a lot of headlines around the country after a hard foul on Fever rookie Caitlin Clark in which she hit Clark in the head with her elbow, resulting in a flagrant one foul. But now, one WNBA legend is coming to Reese’s defense.
In a post on social media, WNBA legend Swin Cash defended Angel Reese as she called out the media for focusing so much on Reese’s foul and not what else she did on the court.
“To have the only highlight of Angel be that foul is nasty work by these outlets. U know what you’re doing while also questioning her intent is nonsense! They got it right, it was a flagrant 1 it was called by the refs & the players played on. Smh Keep Pushin & Competing Angel,” Cash said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
It’s worth noting that Reese did have a strong performance in the game despite the loss to the Fever as she finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double. She also added five assists, a block and a steal with just one turnover on the day.
