Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese played against Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark last weekend in the much anticipated rematch between the two popular players.
Two of the most talked about collegiate women’s basketball players and now WNBA players, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, faced off last Saturday—and the rematch attracted scores of fans to watch them on the larger stage.
Clark and Reese became regular headline makers after Reese made John Cena’s “you can’t see me” hand gesture at Clark as the two faced off in a LSU versus Iowa game last Spring. This time around, it was Clark’s team who won, as the Indiana Fever narrowly beat Reese’s Chicago Sky in a tight game that ended 71-70.
The anticipation for the game was high, following Reese’s “trash talk” to Clark when they were both college players last Spring. The clip of Reese’s gesture inspired plenty of media coverage of both she and Clark, much of which was incendiary towards Reese. The two women ultimately came out of the other side of the kerfuffle much talked about in the mainstream, attracting more fans to women’s basketball and bringing that momentum with them to the WNBA as they were drafted.
