After several high-profile matchups as opponents, both at the college and WNBA level, [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Caitlin Clark[/autotag] are finally joining forces.
Both were named WNBA All-Stars amid fantastic rookie campaigns, and the top two contenders for the league’s Rookie of the Year award will be teammates in the All-Star Game. Speaking on ESPN’s NBA Today, Reese said she’s looking forward to playing alongside Clark.
She added that she expects the pair will continue to be All-Stars and hopes that they will be teammates on the 2028 Olympic roster after neither was selected for the 2024 Paris Games.
“It’s gonna be really cool. I mean, I know so many fans are gonna come out to watch both of us,” Reese said. “But I know a lot of people are just gonna be able to come to Phoenix. I’m sure it’s already sold out. So being able to be in that environment, we’re gonna be playing together for a while, so this is not going to be the (last) time.
“I know we’ll be All-Stars again. Hopefully, (in) 2028, we will be Olympians together, too. So, being able to enjoy this, I’m going to Paris too to go watch the Olympics, so I’m excited for that too.”
