Returning to their NCAA days with the Iowa Hawkeyes facing off against the LSU Tigers in the NCAA Tournament, it was evident that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese had a strained relationship. Their on-court exchanges were heated, and while both secured wins at the college level, Clark recently triumphed with her Indiana Fever defeating Reese’s Chicago Sky last Saturday.
The game sparked significant controversy when Clark was shoved to the ground by Chennedy Carter, one of Reese’s teammates, and video footage captured Reese celebrating the incident on the sideline. Reese herself was fined after the game for skipping her media obligations, fueling speculation that she was avoiding questions about her conduct towards Clark and their relationship.
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark posed for photos before the 2024 WNBA Draft at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Adding another layer to the story, social media activity from Clark’s boyfriend has fueled the fire. Connor McCaffrey has been liking numerous tweets that criticize Reese, calling her classless and more.
Another tweet favorited by Clark’s boyfriend suggested that Reese’s basketball success was due more to her size than her skill. As this drama continues to unfold, it will undoubtedly intensify the rivalry between the two, promising plenty of thrilling entertainment in the years to come.
