During the Chicago Sky's season opener against the Indiana Fever, fan misconduct occurred when a supporter directed alleged racist comments at Angel Reese. The WNBA condemned such behavior and announced an investigation. Both the league and the Women's National Basketball Players Association expressed solidarity in addressing racism and ensuring a safe environment for players. Chicago Sky's team president highlighted the organization's commitment to player protection, while the Pacers Sports & Entertainment reinforced their intention to maintain safety standards at games.
We will do everything in our power to protect Chicago Sky players, and we encourage the league to continue taking meaningful steps to create a safe environment for all WNBA players.
The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate and discrimination in all forms - they have no place in our league or in society.
