Swin Cash, a three-time WNBA champion and four-time WNBA All-Star, called out the media for its coverage of Angel Reese’s flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark during their matchup Sunday.

Cash wrote that some outlets were doing "nasty work" by only showing the Reese foul, despite it being the major talking point of the Indiana Fever’s win over the Chicago Sky.

"To have the only highlight of Angel be that foul is nasty work by these outlets," Cash, who is currently an executive with the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA, wrote on X. "U know what you're doing while also questioning her intent is nonsense! They got it right, it was a flagrant 1 it was called by the refs & the players played on."

Cash then offered her support for Reese and told the WNBA rookie to keep her head up.

"Smh Keep Pushin & Competing Angel," the Basketball Hall of Famer added.

Reese swung her arm and hit Clark in the face while trying to go for a block. The Indiana Fever star fell to the ground. The referees upgraded the foul from a common foul to a flagrant-1 after a review.

The play caused a firestorm on social media.
