Caitlin Clark received a Flagrant 1 following a hard foul on Angel Reese Saturday during the season opener for the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky. Reese found herself near the basket without a defender in front of her, so Clark stepped in and committed a hard take foul to make Reese earn two points at the free-throw line.
Reese took exception to the foul and popped up and went at Clark, but Clark's co-star Aliyah Boston stepped in between to try and keep the situation from any further escalation. After the play was reviewed, the officials upgraded Clark's foul to a Flagrant 1 and gave offsetting technical fouls to Boston and Reese for the following ruckus. After the game, a referee explained why the crew came to that conclusion.
