Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese had been well into a historic rookie season, but on Saturday, she learned that her rookie year would be coming to an early end.
Reese took to Twitter to announce the news — her wrist injury would sideline her for the rest of the season — and it also meant a surprising end to the exciting Rookie of the Year battle between Reese and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
On Sunday, Clark was asked about Reese’s injury. And despite their narrative-driven, on-court rivalry, Clark hated to see Reese’s season end due to injury. Clark offered words of encouragement for Reese in her Sunday press conference.

Fans also loved that response from Clark.
