Angel Reese Praises WNBA For Support Amid Investigation

Angel Reese is speaking out after the WNBA launched an investigation into allegations of racist comments being directed toward her during a game … thanking the league and her team for the support she’s received.

The 6’3″ Chicago Sky forward broke her silence after Tuesday’s team practice … when reporters asked her about the W announcing it was looking into claims of inappropriate behavior directed at Reese during Saturday’s game against the Indiana Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

“Obviously, there’s no place in this league for that,” the 23-year-old said.

“I think the WNBA, the team, and our organization has done a great job supporting me.”

Reese — who became the fastest player in the WNBA to reach 450 points and 450 rebounds — said she’s overwhelmed by the swift response … and praised the fact officials are taking the allegations seriously.

“Every player in this league deserves to be treated with respect and want to come to work and just have fun and have a great environment to work at,” Reese added.

Caitlin Clark also spoke to the media … denouncing the alleged behavior.

“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,” Clark said.

“We want every person that comes into our arena, whether player, whether fan, to have a great experience.”

The WNBA is still investigating … but some people in the arena, like Dave Portnoyhave adamantly denied anyone crossed the line in their support for the Fever — and believe the league took fake claims made on social media by random accounts seriously.
