The WNBA has launched an investigation into some alleged racist taunting that took place during the recent game between Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever and Angel Reese's Chicago Sky. But did Clark hear it happen?

Reese was reportedly the subject of the taunting throughout the game. It's believed that some fans made monkey noises whenever she got the ball.

But while Clark was happy to hear that the league is looking into what happened, she admitted that she couldn't confirm it on her own. Speaking to the media this week, Clark said that it was "super loud" at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and she couldn't hear anything.

However, Clark also made it clear that she supports the WNBA looking into it. She declared that there is "no place for that in our game."

“It’s super loud in here, and though I didn’t hear anything, I think that’s why they’re doing the investigation,” Clark said. “That’s why they’re looking into it. That doesn’t mean nothing happened, so I’ll just trust the league’s investigation, and I’m sure they’ll do the right thing.”

“There’s no place for that in our game, no place for that in our society and certainly we want every person that comes into our arena — whether player, whether fan — to have a great experience,” Clark added. “I appreciate the league doing that (investigation), I appreciate the Fever organization has been at the forefront of this really since Day 1 and what they’re doing. With the investigation, we’ll leave that up to them to find anything and take proper action if so.”

Fever coach Stephanie White echoed the sentiment. She said that the team will cooperate fully with the investigation and also believes that there is "no place for that in our league."

“I told the team, obviously, we’re going to cooperate fully with the investigation,” White said Monday. “But there’s no place for that in our league, whether it’s at home, whether it’s on the road. It doesn’t matter. We want to encourage our players, our staff to bring recognition to it in real time if it’s heard, if it’s seen or anything of that nature.”

The WNBA investigation is ongoing.
