Chicago Sky Forward The rivalry between guard Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese is one of the most organic ones in sports in a very long time. Indeed, it’s difficult to conceive of a more intense rivalry in American sports at this time. However, many internet trolls might lose their minds if the two wind up playing together at the WNBA All-Star Game next month.
The WNBA All-Star Game, which pits the league’s all-stars against Team USA this year, is scheduled for July 20. Both players will most likely travel to Phoenix for the All-Star Game, but neither will be playing for Team USA in Paris this summer. Check out the current vote standings.
Given that it appears like everyone on the internet has taken a stance in the rivalry, the conversation surrounding them being on the same squad would be explosive. The two have been rivals since Reese and LSU defeated Clark and Iowa in the 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball National Championship Game, which at the time was the most watched women’s collegiate basketball game ever. Towards the end of the game, Reese made fun of Caitlin Clark, which caused a stir.
This year, when the two teams faced off in the NCAA Elite Eight, Clark and the Hawkeyes defeated Angel Reese and advanced to the Final Four. The WNBA has also been affected by it. Since Reese was selected with the seventh overall pick and Clark was selected with the first overall pick, the two had already faced each other twice. Both of the games, which included contentious moments involving the two, were won by the Fever.
Angel Reese was seen encouraging Sky guard Chennedy Carter’s cheap shot on Clark during their first meeting. Then, during the second game, Reese attempted a block but struck Clark in the head, earning a flagrant foul charge. It was a basketball play and an accident, both players acknowledged.
For the record, neither player has shown animosity toward the other more than once. Perhaps if they are seen as a team, people will start to believe them. On Sunday afternoon, the two play their third WNBA matchup.
