WNBA star Angel Reese has once again made it clear that there is no bad blood between her and fellow player Caitlin Clark. The two basketball talents, who have been the subject of much speculation about a potential feud, have both transitioned to the professional level, with Reese playing for the Chicago Sky and Clark for the Indiana Fever.
Reese, who previously played for Maryland before transferring to LSU, emphasized in an interview with Complex that their competitive history dates back to their early teenage years. She explained that their rivalry, often fueled by social media, actually sheds a positive light on women’s basketball, despite some negative implications.
The rumored feud between Reese and Clark came to a head during a National Championship game between LSU and Iowa, where Reese’s on-court gestures were perceived by some fans as directed towards Clark. However, Clark came to Reese’s defense, dismissing the criticism and emphasizing the mutual respect between the two players.
Reese has faced backlash and even received death threats due to the perceived rivalry with Clark, but she has been vocal in clarifying that there is no ill-will between them. Both players have continued to support each other and showcase their talents on the court, even teaming up for the WNBA All-Star Game.
Clark’s impressive scoring abilities and Reese’s dominant rebounding skills have solidified their positions as rising stars in the WNBA, paving the way for a promising future for both players.
