Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark Having 'Fun' Playing Together for US
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark say their national team partnership has been fun as both WNBA teams head toward the playoffs with 26-14 records.
In Berlin, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are bonding during their FIBA World Cup national team debuts, countering social media narratives that frame the competitive stars as rivals.
The two stars remain linked following their 2023 NCAA title game clash, where Reese's LSU squad defeated Clark's Iowa team, drawing comparisons to historic rivalries like Bird versus Magic.
During the opener against China, Reese pulled Clark off the court to prevent a technical foul. "She was saving me from the ref getting mad at me again," Clark said, laughing.
Both players are shifting focus to the WNBA playoffs, with Reese's Atlanta Dream and Clark's Indiana Fever both holding 26-14 records and potentially meeting in the first round if current seeding holds.
Clark dismissed media narratives as "false takes," emphasizing mutual respect. "We can kind of rely on each other, lean on each other," Reese said, noting both players remain focused on competing together.
