The WNBA says it cannot substantiate claims that racist fan behavior took place against Angel Reese during a game in Indianapolis between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever earlier this month.

The league said its investigation included gathering information from fans, team, and arena staff and reviewing the game’s audio and video.

“We appreciate the quick action by the league and the Indiana Fever to take this matter seriously and to investigate,” Chicago Sky CEO and president Adam Fox said in a statement.

“This process demonstrates the league’s strong stance on stopping hate at all WNBA games and events, and we will continue to support those efforts.”

The WNBA was looking into claims that racist comments were directed toward Reese following an altercation with Caitlin Clark, where they both had to be separated. During the game, Clark was called for a flagrant-1 foul on her longtime rival, Reese.

Despite the announcement and yet another disappointing loss, Reese is keeping her head held high.

Taking to X late last night, Angel Reese declared, “God has a plan. Day by day.”
