Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has opened up on her rivalry with Caitlin Clark following their first season in the WNBA.

Reese and Clark appeared to kick their enmity of sorts off when they met at the National Title game in 2023, but the former has revealed that they have been going at it for much longer.

“It’s been competition since college,” the former LSU star said in an interview with Complex. “Being able to play against Caitlin, I’ve been playing against Caitlin since we were probably in eigth or ninth grade.”

“We both were really competitive during AAU. I went to Maryland, she went to Iowa, we competed there, and then finally being able to compete in the national championship. People don’t know the legacy of us being able to play against each other for a really long time.”

Angel Reese Says Fans Can Make It “Crazy”

Angel Reese was asked about her experience with Caitlin Clark fans and claimed it was not limited to the Indiana Fever star’s supporters but supporters in general.

She would also insist that there are no hard feelings between herself and Caitlin.

“People don’t realize, at the end of the day, we’re humans. You guys watch us and knowing that it’s just basketball. I promise you, it’s just basketball. I don’t have any hard feelings towards her. She doesn’t have any hard feelings towards me. But yeah, it gets crazy sometimes.”

Reese and Clark are gearing up for their second year in the pros. It will be interesting to see how they get on as sophomores.
