Angel Reese is defending herself over the flagrant foul she committed on Caitlin Clark on Sunday.

Reese whacked Clark in the head while trying to block a layup attempt from the Indiana Fever star during the third quarter of the Fever’s 91-83 win over Reese’s Chicago Sky.

Reese was initially called for a foul, but it was upgraded to a Flagrant 1 foul upon a review.

Reese was asked about the play after the game and immediately interjected.

“It was a basketball play,” Reese said. “It was a basketball play. I can’t control the refs. They affected the game obviously a lot tonight. ….Y’all gonna play that clip 20 times before Monday.”

Once again, Reese is making herself out to be a victim in the circumstances. It’s very clear that she thinks very highly of herself and as if she can do no wrong.
