Angel Reese CHEERS Chennedy Carter’s brutal bodycheck on her old rival Caitlin Clark – as the Chicago Sky star’s is SLAMMED for her reaction

Angel Reese appeared to celebrate a brutal foul on Caitlin Clark in their highly-anticipated meeting in the WNBA.

In the third quarter of the Sky and Fever’s showdown on Saturday, Reese’s teammate Chennedy Carter shoulder-checked the Fever rookie during an in-bounds pass, knocking Clark down to the hardwood.

Carter also appeared to say ‘you b***c’ before making aggressive and unnecessary contact with Clark.

Eric Nathan of Barstool Sports later posted a wider angle of the foul, which shows Reese seemingly cheering after Carter committed the foul.

As Clark hit the ground, Reese got out of her seat on the bench and clapped while yelling at Carter, who was walking away after being whistled for the foul. Reese also appears to be yelling at Carter as if to encourage or praise her actions.

Following the incident, MLS commentator Taylor Twellman slammed Reese for her reaction, writing: ‘Such a bad look on Reese too IMHO. The baby games/cheap shots on any athlete are so dumb. Imagine if someone did this to LeBron???’

Other fans flooded the comment section, calling Reese and Carter losers and bullies. Meanwhile, others suggested they are jealous of Clark’s popularity and success.

Nevertheless, Clark had the last laugh as the Fever secured a 71-70 win to earn their first victory at home.

Clark tallied 11 points, eight rebounds, and six assists to help the Fever.

On the other hand, Reese clocked in eight points and 13 rebounds in Chicago’s losing effort.

Reese entered Saturday’s game averaging 11 points, 8.2 rebounds, and two assists so far in the W. The former Tiger’s strengths in college seemingly translated well to the pros as she leads all rookies in boards.

She has played and started in all of Chicago’s seven games, as they now hold a 3-4 record this season.

Meanwhile, Clark has averaged 17.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game since arriving in the league. Unfortunately, the Fever have struggled, winning just one of their nine games before Saturday.

In 2023, Reese and the Tigers bested Clark and the Hawkeyes in the NCAA Championship game, 102-85. Reese clocked in a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds on their way to a championship.

Clark got her revenge in April when Iowa eliminated LSU in the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament. Reese’s 17-point and 20-rebound performance was quickly erased by Clark’s 41 points and 12 assists in the 94-87 win.

Iowa would move on to appear in another title game but lost to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina team.

With Clark being the new babyface of women’s basketball, Reese had previously jabbed at her college rival after they entered the league.

Following a win over the New York Liberty in May, Reese tweeted: ‘And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just cause of one player on our charter flight. #SKYTOWN,’ she wrote, with a blowing-a-kiss emoji at the end. Reese quickly deleted the post after it went live.

While the broadcast crew during the game argued that Carter’s body check was a flagrant 1, officials deemed it a common foul, as Clark made her free throw on the other end.

‘I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions,’ Carter said when asked postgame.

🔥 Kate “Money” Martin Highlights: 12pts/7reb Off BENCH In Las Vegas Aces Win vs Indiana Fever | WNBA

A’ja Wilson totals 29 points and 15 rebounds to lead Aces to 99-80 win over Caitlin Clark and Fever

Clark and Martin skipped toward each other and hugged pregame.

“We’re both living out our dreams right now,” Martin said. “We both always wanted to get to this point, and we’re doing that right now. So we’re really grateful we’re in this position and we have this opportunity, so it’s pretty cool to experience that with your best friend.”

Another former Hawkeye, Megan Gustafson, plays for Las Vegas.

Those players’ former coach, Lisa Bluder, sat courtside. Bluder, who retired May 14 after 24 years overseeing the Hawkeyes, was joined by her replacement, Jan Jansen.

“It’s pretty cool they all get to be on the court at the time tonight,” Bluder said before the game. “Whenever you see somebody reach their dream, it’s so satisfying to think you might have some small part to do with it. It’s the best feeling in the world. It’s why we do this.”

Clark was one of five No. 1 draft picks in this game along with teammate Boston and Las Vegas’ Wilson, Plum and Young. Also, the top four women’s scorers in NCAA Division I history — Clark, Plum, Las Vegas’ Dyaisha Fair and Mitchell — played in this game.

The game was played before an announced sellout crowd of 10,399, but short of the Aces’ record at Michelob Ultra Arena. Las Vegas drew 10,419 for this season’s opener against the Phoenix Mercury when the Aces raised their second championship banner in a row. Sixteen of the Aces’ 20 home games have sold out this season, a league record.

The WNBA didn’t do Clark and the Fever any favors with the early schedule. This was Indiana’s seventh game in 12 days and third in four. It also was the Fever’s fifth road game as well as their fifth game overall against a team that competed in either of the past two WNBA Finals.

“Thank the Lord,” Boston said of this tough stretch ending.

“It’s hard being on the road like this and playing the teams that we have,” she added. “But in the end of it, in the middle of it even, we’re going to be prepared for what’s to come because we’ve had these tough games to start this season.”

Las Vegas, by contrast, was playing its fourth game of the season — all at home.

The Aces looked comfortable in their familiar surroundings, bouncing back from Tuesday night’s 98-88 loss to the Mercury for their most complete performance of the young season. They outscored the Fever 22-10 in the second quarter to take an eight-point lead at halftime, and took full control by ending the third quarter on an 11-3 run for a 72-56 lead.

“We actually played (defense),” Wilson said. “I feel like in the past games, we didn’t want it. It was just like we thought we could outscore (the opponents) and this league is too good to do that. So I think tonight we actually wanted to play defense, and I think that loss against Phoenix kind of woke us up, so it didn’t matter who we played this weekend.”
