Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will play together for the first time in their careers during the WNBA All-Star Game. Itâs going to be a tremendous matchup against Team USA, but, the rookie of Indiana Fever believes this historic moment is not about a young rivalry between them
âI donât think Iâve ever been her teammate before. Not even at USA Basketball. I know people will be really excited about it, but I hope it doesnât take away from everyone else. This is a huge accomplishment for everybody on Team USA and everyone on Team WNBA. They all deserve the same praise. I donât want it to take away from any of that and be the focal point of All-Star weekend because thatâs not fair to them.â
The WNBA has scheduled the All-Star Game on July 20 at Phoenix. Although Caitlin doesnât want to be the center attention, this will be an opportunity to play against the Olympic squad which snubbed her.
Will Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese play in the WNBA All Star Game?
Yes. Both players will be part of the All-Star Game and Reese couldnât hide her excitement after hearing the news. Angel is in the middle of a tremendous rookie season with the Chicago Sky.
âIâm just so happy. I know the work I put in. Coming into this league, so many people doubted me and didnât think my game would translate and I wouldnât be the player that I was in college or better or would be worse and wouldnât be where I am right now. But I trusted the process and I believed and Iâm thankful that I dropped to pick No. 7 and was able to come to Chicago. Itâs just a blessing.â
