The rivalry is still real between Chicago Sky power forward Angel Reese and Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark. The two have been sparring since the 2023 national championship between LSU and Iowa.
On Saturday, the Sky and Fever kicked off the 2025 regular season at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Fever dominated from the start, leading 45-32 at halftime. Reese made WNBA history in the first half, becoming the fastest player in league history to record 450 points and rebounds.
Frustrations for Reese boiled over with 4:38 remaining in the third quarter and the Sky trailing 56-42. Clark committed what appeared to be a hard foul on Reese going for a layup. The force of Clark’s impact put Reese on the hardwood floor.
