The game between Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever and Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky drew an average of 2.7 million viewers, which made it the most watched WNBA game on ESPN platforms.

These two players have been rivals on the court for years, as their college squads faced off in the 2023 NCAA National Championship Game.

"The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate and discrimination in all forms -- they have no place in our league or in society," the league said in a statement.
