After an investigation into alleged racist fan behavior towards Sky player Angel Reese, the WNBA released findings stating no substantial evidence was found. The investigation began after a tense moment during a game against the Fever on May 17, involving a flagrant foul on Reese. The league affirmed their commitment to a safe and inclusive environment. Mel Raines, COO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, expressed gratitude for the thorough investigation, emphasizing the unacceptability of hate speech at their venue. The Sky have yet to comment on the findings.
Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated it.
We appreciate the swift and thorough process undertaken by the WNBA to investigate these allegations, which were not substantiated.
