On Saturday, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are set to take on Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in the highly anticipated WNBA rookie clash.
Clark and Reese built a rivalry in college when they met in the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. Reese and her LSU Tigers prevailed with a 102-85 win over Clark and her Iowa Hawkeyes.
The two met once again in the 2024 Women’s College Basketball Tournament Elite Eight. Clark exacted her revenge and beat Reese to move on to her second straight Final Four.
On Friday, just one day before the battle, Reese unveiled her new shoes, which she will debut in the game. They are called the Reebok Angel Reese “Barbie” Editions, referencing her nickname ‘Chi Barbie.’
In one of the iconic moments of last year’s NCAA women’s tournament, Angel Reese of LSU points to her ring finger as Iowa’s Caitlin Clark can only watch during the national championship game. LSU defeated Iowa 102 85.
