Almost two weeks after the incident, the WNBA said on Tuesday that the League could not support the statements made against the fans present in the match despite the outcry that the investigation caused on social networks.
Portnoy added the response of the fever to the conclusion of the WNBA.
“It’s ok to have a spine fever,” he wrote. “The” investigation “was bulls —. You and Wnba gave (credibility) to a very obvious troll.
The CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, Mel Raines, published a declaration on the conclusion of the League investigation.

Angel Reese did not ask the WNBA not finding any evidence of alleged hateful comments towards her
“We appreciate the rapid and in -depth process undertaken by the WNBA to investigate these allegations, which have not been supported,” said Raines. “At Gainbridge Fieldhouse, we are committed to providing the best possible basketball experience to players and fans where hatred speech has absolutely no room. Indiana is home to the biggest fans in the world, and we are looking forward to an exciting season of fever basketball.”
Portnoy also reacted to the WNBA declaration.

“No S — You F — ING ING,” he wrote. “Perhaps wait until next time before creating a racial war based on the angry Tik toks of Chicago Sky / Angel Trolls who were not even in the game. Honestly, one of the worst Malmandments of P that I have ever seen.”
