INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana fever player spoke Monday after practicing WNBA, investigating allegations of "hate fan comments" against Chicago Sky player Angel Reese in the team's opener on Saturday's season.

In Indiana's 93-58 victory, no one said they heard the specific voice of the sold-out crowd. But they added that they understand the need to conduct an investigation.

"There is nowhere in our game, there is nowhere in society," said Caitlin Clark, the fever guard. "Of course, we want everyone who comes into our stage (whether players or fans) to have great experience. I appreciate the league for doing this (investigation). I appreciate the fever organization for being at the forefront."

During Saturday's game, social media posts said hateful remarks or noise were made towards Reese after the third quarter incident involving her and Clark. Clark fouled against Reese to prevent layup attempts. Rees opposed the foul and tried to face Clark, but Indiana's Aliyah Boston separated the players.

Clark's foul was upgraded to blatant foul 1, and Rees and Boston both fouled. She was told after the game that despite being a player who quickly resisted the situation, Boston was told she had acquired the skills.

On Monday, Boston said it was important for players to continue to reaffirm the information fans need to maintain etiquette while still enjoying the game.

“There has never been any hatred here,” Boston said. “As a player, you just have to stay strong and be able to call it out when something happens.

“As athletes, we have to make sure that fans know they can be enthusiastic, cheer us up and cheer.

Dewanna Bonner, who had a fever in the WNBA's 16th season, said the team briefly discussed the situation, and everyone was on the same page.

“We keep elevating each other and speaking out on these things when needed,” Bonner said. “This is not the representative we represent as players, not the representative of the Indiana Heat. It is zero tolerance.

"Of course, we want a tough environment for the opponent's team to play. But, in a basketball environment, people can still enjoy the game."

Next Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Atlanta Dream’s next fever.
