Griffin wrote on social media that the incident showed him one thing.
"After watching Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the aftermath, there is no way Angel Reese can continue the lie that she doesn’t dislike Caitlin Clark," Griffin wrote. "I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate."
Clark and Reese have major history, going back to the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball national championship.
Both players downplayed the incident.
Clark told ESPN’s Holly Rowe after the third quarter that there had been "nothing malicious" behind the foul.
