Caitlin Clark didn’t suit up for the Indiana Fever when they played the Chicago Sky on Saturday, but she still went viral for a sideline reaction that has many people suggesting that she “hates” Angel Reese.

While both women have denied that there’s any real animosity between them, it’s become clear that they don’t want each other to do well.

Their teams faced off on the weekend for the second time this season. Unfortunately, Clark was out with an injury, which caused a windfall in ticket prices. Despite the former Iowa star’s absence, the Sky contrived to get blown out.

Reese scored just four points on 2-of-7 shooting and, at one point, was called for a travel while driving to the basket and missing. Clark was hyped over the call on the sideline, and her reaction said it all.

Check her out below:

Fans are now accusing Caitlin Clark of hating Angel Reese, mostly due to Robert Griffin III claiming Reese hated Clark after a near-altercation in their first game of the campaign.

“Lmao Caitlin Clark really hates Angel Reese😂,” one wrote.

“Caitlin hates her sooooooooooo much,” another asserted.

“This is revenge for how she acted like a clown when Caitlin got clocked for no reason,” someone else claimed.

“Oh sht, is RG3 going to do a podcast about how CC hates Angel?! Is CC jealous of Angel?!” A fourth predicted.

“I know what hate looks like & CC hates Angel Reese 😂 that how this goes right?” another joked.

“This was probably the most fun CC’s ever had not playing,” someone else observed.

The Fever didn’t appear to be in any danger of losing, given that they were ahead by 20 points at the time. But Clark enjoyed watching her contemporary take a whistle anyway.

Meanwhile, Indiana has managed to win games despite Clark’s absence, but the Sky are struggling to win even with Reese in the lineup.

Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair has admitted regrets over his illegal hit to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the ensuing brawl between the teams in a lengthy statement on social media.  

Al-Shaair’s statement comes as his three-game suspension as a result of the incident has ended and he is slated to return to the field for the Texans on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

On December 1, an Al-Shaair hit to the head of a sliding and defenseless Lawrence caused chaos in Jacksonville. The defensive back needed to be restrained by several coaches and Lawrence has not played since taking the barbaric contact.

‘While so many jumped at the first opportunity to hop on the false narrative – that l’m a dirty player or bad person – the messages from all who stood by me were the only things keeping me mentally afloat during a time of isolation,’ Al-Shaair said on social media.

‘I’ve learned so much from this entire experience. Seeing myself on video – letting my emotions get the best of me to the point where I completely lost it – was an embarrassing and eye-opening moment for me.’

‘I’ve had to earn everything in my life. I never want to allow anyone to get me to a point where I jeopardize everything that I’ve worked all my life to obtain. That was not the way I want to represent myself or my family and I will continue to learn and grow from that moment.’

Al-Shaair said during his three-game ban, he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league executives for the first time, taking issue with how he was characterized in the official announcement of his suspension.

The defender said he thought his character and integrity were ‘unjustifiably smeared’ in the release but the meeting with Goodell and others was ‘productive’ and gave him hope it would not happen again.

‘In that conversation – man-to-man – I owned and acknowledged that my actions following my ejection were careless and, in that moment, I didn’t think about the responsibility I have been blessed with to represent the shield,’ Al-Shaair continued.

‘I also stated that the letter, and specifically the language used in the letter, was equally as careless and conveyed that the context of the words used were not a reflection of my character, nor my career, as I have not been warned multiple times for my play on the field.’

Al-Shaair’s hit on Lawrence was not the only controversial incident he was involved in this season.

During the Texans’ game against the Bears in September, he punched Roschon Johnson, who wasn’t even in the game at the time of another sideline confrontation.

Al-Shaair ended his statement by saying his view is that everyone in the league office and on the field are on the same team to represent the NFL in the best nature possible, something he failed to do earlier this month.

‘Lastly, I’ll say that this world is full of negative people who can’t wait to tear you down, but if you move with love and compassion, the seeds of good you planted in others’ lives can grow into the very tree that shades you with comfort and compassion when you need it most,’ Al-Shaair concluded.

‘I am a man of God, I am a leader, a warrior and a lover. I am also a hell of a football player and I’m grateful to be back doing what I love.’
