Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese said she will “take the bad guy role” in her rivalry with Caitlin Clark if it means continued growth for women’s basketball.
It was the first time Reese had spoken to the media since a hard-nosed game against Clark and the Indiana Fever on Saturday that has sparked continued debate ever since. In the third quarter of a heated contest, Reese’s teammate Chennedy Carter knocked Clark down during a stoppage in play and was later charged with a flagrant foul. Reese, who was seen clapping and hugging Carter after the hard foul on Clark, was fined for refusing to speak to the media after that game.
” Reese continued: “I’ll look back in 20 years and be like, ‘Yeah, the reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person. It’s because of me too,’ and I want y’all to realize that. “It’s not just because of one person. A lot of us have done so much for this game, and Chennedy has been here before, obviously, but there are so many great players in this league that have deserved this for a really, really long time, and luckily, it’s coming now.
