Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky nearly hit with ball after Angel Reese’s flagrant on Caitlin Clark
NY Post
You can put this in the category of, you couldn’t make this up if you tried.
When Caitlin Clark went up for a layup and was fouled by Angel Reese on Sunday during a game between the Fever and Sky, the ball went flying into the stands and nearly clobbered a fan if it wasn’t for the quick reflexes of the person sitting next to them.
So who was that fan?
It was none other than Jon Ledecky, the uncle of famed American Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky and the co-owner of the Islanders.
And the person who saved the Isles’ owner from being hit by the ball was his nephew Michael, who is Katie Ledecky’s brother.
In a post shared to Michael’s Instagram story and posted on X by USA Today columnist Christine Brennan, a screenshot of the play shows Michael getting his hand in front of the ball that had been headed right for his uncle’s head.
