Chicago Sky guard Ariel Atkins is asking reporters to focus on Angel Reese's basketball rather than her popularity off the court.

Last month, the WNBA investigated an allegation that racist fan abuse was directed at Reese during the Sky’s 93-58 loss to Clark’s Indiana Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Clark was called for a flagrant foul on Reese in that game.

"Luckily I'm around amazing women every day that love each other," Reese said. "We genuinely love each other."
