Caitlin Clark Helps Angel Reese Get HUGE DEAL in European League After She Got SUSPENDED from WNBA!
Angel Reese makes thoughts very clear on the prospect of becoming Caitlyn Clark’s teammate.
Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark have enjoyed a fierce rivalry in their first year as WNBA stars, but the Chicago Sky star has made it clear that she would love to link up as teammates sometime in the future. Reese has openly expressed her aspirations to play alongside WNBA sensation Caitlyn Clark in the future. The 22-year-old rookie made a splash in her debut season with Chicago Sky, shattering the league’s rebound record by pulling down an impressive average of 13.1 per game.
Despite her team’s sixth-place finish in the Eastern Conference, Reese also boasted a respectable average of 13.6 points per game and snagged one of the 67 votes for the Rookie of the Year award. Though her first-year feats were noteworthy, rival player Clark snagged the spotlight with an equally stunning season at Indiana Fever.
Amid the on-court banter and fierce competition typical of sports rivalries, Reese has expressed hope for future collaboration with Clark. In a conversation with the Wall Street Journal, Reese highlighted that her rivalry with Clark has not only heightened the excitement around the sport but is also likely to continue doing so. She anticipates a day when they will share the court as allies, saying, “And one day, hopefully, we’ll be teammates.”
This sentiment isn’t new for Reese. She’s previously shared with Women’s Health that their postgame relationship remains amicable, commenting on their professional dynamic with appreciation: “I love that we’re able to compete and still be cool after, regardless of the outside noise. When we get between the lines and we’re ready to compete, we just want to win. That’s just the group of women—we always want to win, and we’re strong and super powerful in everything that we do.”
Reese and Clark got a sneak peek of what playing together would be like earlier this year in July, both taking part in the WNBA All-Star Game against the United States Women’s National Team, alongside big names like Diana Taurasi, DeWanna Bonner, and Breanna Stewart.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn Clark has been making waves with her recent training footage from Europe, and it’s clear she’s thriving in a completely new environment, free from the drama that weighed her down in the WNBA. She’s shining in a league that treats her like the star she is. The footage shows her focused, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying the game without the constant stress that followed her back in the U.S. Gone are the dirty plays, the cheap fouls, and the non-stop tension. Clark is now playing basketball in its purest form, in a league that respects both her and the sport.
