The Chicago Sky are trying to navigate a difficult issue this week as they prepare for their home opener against the New York Liberty on Thursday night at Wintrust Arena.

On Sunday, the WNBA announced that it was investigating reports of hateful comments and actions directed towards the Chicago Sky 's Angel Reese during their season opener against the Indiana Fever on Saturday.

When Reese got up, she tried to confront Clark before Indiana center Aliyah Boston stepped in between the two players. Clark’s third personal foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1 while Boston and Reese each drew technical fouls following a replay review by the referees.

"We don't want to limit (Reese) just to being a rebounder, because she's so much more than that, her potential is so much more than that.”

Angel Reese recently reposted a video onto her TikTok account that said she is "unsafe" when playing against Caitlin Clark and the Fever in Indiana.

The Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever, despite a relative lack of success, have both risen to prominence over the last two WNBA seasons. That is because their budding stars, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, are two of the faces of the league.
