Angel Reese sends big warning to WNBA teams

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have taken their rivalry in college basketball with LSU and Iowa to the grand stage of WNBA. It’s always been back and forth between them.

Reese won the National Championship in 2023, Clark got a victory in the 2024 Elite Eight and, in the first two matchups of Indiana Fever against the Chicago Sky, the former Hawkeye left the court triumphant.

Furthermore, there were many controversies in those games, especially with Chennedy Carter saying Clark isn’t the face of WNBA and Reese delivering a flagrant foul in the head.

Now, with an attendance record and possible TV ratings similar to the NBA, both teams faced for a third time. This was the Sky’s first home game with the Fever in the calendar.

Angel Reese had a career-high performance with 25 points and 16 rebounds to give the Chicago Sky a thrilling 88-87 victory over the Indiana Fever. After her first win over Clark in the WNBA, Reese warned the league there’s more to come during an interview with ESPN.

“I’m a dog. You can’t teach that. I’m going to go out and do whatever it takes to win in every single night. My teammates rely on my energy. So, being able to continue the energy even if we’re down, that’s what I do.”
