Caitlin Clark got away with a surprising non-call despite her going through the exact same thing weeks ago when it was Angel Reese delivering the blow.
Earlier in the season, fans were up in arms when Clark was on the receiving end of a hard swipe from fellow rookie Angel Reese in a showdown against the Chicago Sky.
What was a normal foul got changed to a flagrant 1 after review.

Fast-forward to this week, and now Clark is no longer on the receiving end of the swipe; she was delivering it.
Footage from a recent win over the Atlanta Dream shows how the Indiana Fever star did the exact same motion and foul against Jordin Canada as she went up for a layup.
It was clear from the video that Caitlin Clark hit her across her head as Canada went down to the ground.
Yet, unlike Reese, Clark would be whistled for just a common foul, as refs didn’t even bother to look at it.
@radiancespeaks444 Notice a difference? Let me help you one was flagrant & one was a common foul. 🤔 #wnba #caitlinclark #angelreese #foryou #explore
The Fever would go on to win that game.
