Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark’s rivalry and teamwork

The former collegiate rivals have faced off again in the WNBA. The pair made headlines after one of Angel’s teammates fouled Caitlin—and Angel was seen clapping. But this is the first time they’ll be on the same side of the court.

A little more about their competition: On June 1 Caitlin’s Indiana Fever hosted Angel’s Chicago Sky, in the players’ first match-up since their Elite Eight game in 2024 March Madness. (There, Caitlin’s Hawkeyes came out on top, but lost in the finals to South Carolina.)

Indiana won the game by one point, but the team is instead making headlines for a foul against Caitlin. In one play, Chennedy Carter knocked Caitlin to the ground. Angel was photographed clapping, which caused headlines and a ton of renewed attention on this feud, per the Associated Press.
