PHOENIX (AP) — Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will once again step into the spotlight during All-Star Weekend with their matchup against the U.S. Olympic team.
They'll get to team-up for the first time on the WNBA All-Star team after being rivals in college. Reese's LSU squad topped Clark's Iowa team for the national championship in 2023. The Hawkeyes knocked out the Tigers this past year in the Elite Eight.
While there has been so much hype on the pair entering the WNBA, the duo has shown they can compete with the best players in the league. That's helped show that this isn't just a moment for the WNBA, but a larger movement for the sport.
Clark was quick to deflect that the movement is more for all of women's sports than just basketball.
