The WNBA is investigating allegations of hateful comments directed to Angel Reese that were made from the stands during Saturday’s season opener between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever, the league said in a statement Sunday.

The league released a statement on Sunday but didn’t specify when the alleged comments occurred in the game or who they were directed toward.

“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 its statement.

Social media has seemingly been digging, and someone may have come across a video of what may have happened.

While shooting a technical foul-free throw in the third quarter, an audible monkey noise was heard from the stands.

It is unclear if that noise was actually real from the game or added later.

The Women’s National Basketball Players Assn. said in a statement Sunday that the league was investigating “hateful comments” made at the Fever-Sky game. Multiple media outlets were reporting that the comments were racial and directed at Reese.

“The WNBPA is aware of reports of hateful comments at yesterday’s game in Indianapolis and supports the WNBA’s current investigation into this matter,” the union wrote Sunday. “Such behavior is unacceptable in our sport.”

During the third quarter of the Fever’s 93-58 win, Clark sent Reese tumbling to the ground after she grabbed an offensive rebound.

Angel Reese got up and tried to confront Clark, who walked away as members from both teams intervened.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark’s third career triple-double during Saturday’s season-opening win over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky was overshadowed by a flagrant foul in the third quarter.

Clark chopped Reese’s arm on a driving layup attempt. Reese immediately leaped to her feet and began screaming at Clark. Indiana’s Aliyah Boston stepped in between them.

Clark’s foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 1 upon video review.

After the game, Reese referred to Clark’s foul as a “basketball play.”

“Refs got it right,” she said. “Move on.”

Clark told reporters of the incident: “Let’s not make it something that it’s not. It was just a good play on the basketball. I’m not sure what the ref saw to upgrade it, and that’s up to their discretion. … I wasn’t trying to do anything malicious. That’s not the type of player I am.”
