Indianapolis (AP) — The WNBA returned with a bang as the Indiana Fever demolished the Chicago Sky 93-58 this past Saturday. However, the focus of the game wasn’t just on the overwhelming victory but also on the controversial incident between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

In a tense moment, Clark committed a flagrant foul on Reese, raising the temperature on the court. Although Clark tried to downplay the incident, calling it merely a “normal basketball play,” it’s undeniable that a rivalry is brewing between these two stars.

Before the game, Clark shared her thoughts on competition in sports: “Rivalry is great for sports. I grew up loving rivalries… I still hate our rival, like our high school rival; I was taught that if we were driving by, to hold my breath because I couldn’t breathe that air.”

The tension between the Sky and Fever was evident from the start of the season, and this game proved it. Chaos erupted when Clark shoved Reese as she went for a layup. After being knocked to the floor, Reese confronted Clark, but Indiana center Aliyah Boston intervened just in time.

This incident not only captured the attention of fans but also created a viral moment in the basketball community. With everything that has transpired, this season promises to be filled with drama and excitement between these two rising stars of the WNBA!
